It's done and over with! Woohoo

Apr 06, 2010

Here I sit, in a recliner at the hospital. Yesterday, I was TOTALLY and completely out of it. The pain was pretty much unbearable, but I got through it. They tried to do an eipidural to help with the pain and for some reason, he couldn't do it. He tried four times.  So I just got morphine through my IV and I guess they didn't put it in until I woke up bc it was horrible pain for until the morhpine kicked in.  I pretty much stayed on top of how often I could have it bc it hurt so bad.  I felt really bad for mom for having to see me through that and there's is nothing she could do.

I feel better today. I still can't drink anything; just swish it around and spit it out.  The drains aren't nearly as bad as I thought they would be, so that is good. The doctor always takes out the gallbladder and said he would take the appendix too. Mom said it was a good idea because if I ever have stomach pain, they won't waste time testing for gallbladder or appendix, they will know right away its something my actual stomach. So I had them removed. I wonder if that isn't one reason I'm having such bad pain.

They have a nice hospital recliner for me to lay in.  I've had to use the bathroom pretty much ever two hours bc of all the iv fluid. I really thought I would be moving around more bc I was with my c sections. But this is definitely worse than a c section. I keep reminding myself that this will soon be a memory and I'll be healthy, happy, momma!

Thanks for all the prayers,I can't wait to hear about the other April 2010 people.
