Post Surgery: Day 3

Nov 18, 2010

Well, this has been my third full day following surgery. I still feel like I've been hit in the gut one too many times. :) This surgery was the first surgery I have ever experienced and am only able to speak of my own experience. I am happy that I am doing well, and that each day brings me feeling closer to normal. The one thing I must say that I never thought would be painful, is the air leftover from surgery. That is how they check for "leaks," but you get the joy of that gas pressure until it is all gone. This could last awhile, which is the only thing I don't look forward.

In my mind I think about food, the taste, the smell, and yet am not hungry. That is something that feels funny. Food, for me, has always been my comfort. I think, due to my recovering I am visualizing the things that have brought me comfort before. However, I have been able to stay focused and remember what all of this is for and my end goal.
