Home Sweet Home

Jan 28, 2010

Surgery was Tuesday and I'm finally home...happy to be here.  What an awful day Tuesday was.  I am prone to getting sick from the anesthesia...they gave me 5 different medications and nothing helped...they had a cold wash rag on my head and ice packs in my arm pits because i was feeling so hot.  Noone saw my face for HOURS...LOL  I was dry heaving in the beginning and after that just couldn't see the light of day.  Surgery also took a couple hours longer than expected because of the scar tissue from my gall bladder surgery years ago.  

I felt a little better on Wednesday as far as the nausea went but then felt worse than I had anticipated...so many people had said it was no big deal and for me, it turned out to be a huge big deal.  Today is much better. I'm far more mobile and more with it.  I had to stop the pain meds except at night cuz i think part of the problem was being in such a fog.  Anyway, they released me to come home early this afternoon.  I've already had a nap and am up again.  

Praying the rest of my journey goes uneventfully...LOL
