Things are still going good
It's been four days since I had my surgery (Wednesday 3/12/08), and things are going well. I have been off my pain medication since Friday because I felt I did not need it anymore. I drove a little yesterday because I had some errands to run for my sister and daughter, and I also took my daughter to see Horton Hears a Who since we had not gotten a chance to spend a lot of time together. I went to church this morning, and now I am resting. I plan on going to work in the morning if I still feel up to it. The only thing I am noticing which I noticed from the next morning after my surgery is a taste of blood in my mouth. I am not alarmed however because blood is not coming from anywhere. I can spit, go to the bathroom etc.., and blood is not coming from anywhere. What I think it is, is like when I got my tongued pierced, the tissue/linen died as tissue does, and then it comes out because when I first saw it on my tongue I thought it was puce and infected before I was told what it was, and when I woke up this morning, I had the same little pieces of blood tissue linen on my tongue like when my tongue was healing from being pierced, but that was it. This only happens to me first thing in the morning, but this morning was the first time I got the small pieces of tissue linen that probably came from my stomach. I still am not in any pain; I only feel where the port is, and this aggravating gas that won't go away fast enough. I have not had to change any bandages or anything like that because I never had any. All my incisions were covered with liquid Band-Aid so even that’s been pretty easy. I will keep posting my updates. I go back for my first doctors’ appointment on 3/24/08. I have been a little hungry, but I am trying to learn mind over matter.

Sounds like you are doing well. Took My daughter and grandchildren to see Horton tonight. We all really enjoyed it. Glad you are able to be up and about. Good luck at work tomorrow.
