1 week post op!
Dec 30, 2009
Well, I am one week post op! I am so glad to be on this side of things. Let's see... What has been going on in this last week.... I think i am doing pretty good. The day of surgery I just knew that I would be so scared. But i wasn't. I believe that i was just ready for this surgery. My mom said that when she asked me if i was scared as they were wheeling me out i said no, with such a peace on my face. I wasn't sacred at all. Everyone at CMC was so nice. The nurses were wonderful. I pray that i am as caring and patient as they were when i finish nursing school. The surgery itse;f was uneventful. My DB however, was so nervous... According to my mother, and him, he was pacing the floors waiting for me. I have read here that some people did not have much pain after surgery. Well, I was not one of them! I hit that little PCA button every chance i got! The first day I could not have anything at all to drink except those wet lolipop sponges that they give you. I was sooo thirsty. And my mouth was soo dry! I just hit the PCA pump and went back to sleep so I didn't have to think about it. I was also very uncomfortable because i am a side/stomach sleeper so it was hard to get comfy. But, honestly, that was the worst of it. The next day after surgery I felt like I had been hit by a truck. My Surgeon said it would be the worst day and he was right. After that it has been downhill. I was released on Wednesday. I have been doing really good with the liquids. Pretty much getting all my fluids everyday. But the Protein! UGH! Now that is a different story. I really got to work on that! My tummy is still sore. I still have some gas. But all in all things are good. I had my first Dr. appt today and I am down 14 pounds! My Dr. said i am doing good. I am glad. I am really gonna make a better effort to get this protein in! So far so good!
