I'm Home!!!
Feb 05, 2011
Hello Everyone, Thank you for your many prayers, thoughts and concerns. I'm home now and I'm up and moving around. Let's see, what happened. Well...while I was waiting to get my IV, the Dr. came in and said he thought I was a good candidate for going through the navel. He said that it was more difficult and would take longer, but there wouldn't be a scar. At that point I was ready so I said "OK". I've been warned about that habit! The next thing I remember is PAIN! I asked why it hurt so much and the nurse said, he did in one hole what normally happens in 5 holes. It felt like a c-section all over again. I had 3 of those so I remember that feeling well. The difference was the air bubbles that traveled up in my upper back. They hurt. I begged them to let me go home. Once I got home I took pain medicine but that was it. I found if I got up and walked it felt better. I was weak but I was home and walking. I found that if I could lay straight back and go to sleep when I woke up the pain was dull. Today is my day of trying to get all of my liquids in. I'm up to 6 oz's a hour. Maybe I can get 8 oz's a hour tomorrow. That's the goal. I have one every day. I also walk 2 minutes a hour if possible. And finally, I'm using my blowing/sucking thing. It helps when I feel like coughing. I hope this isn't too much for you guys. Good luck!
