Day after surgery

Mar 06, 2012

Well....I made it.  Today is day after and just relaxing after surgery.  My blood pressure little low, I'm very VERY tired and hurting.  My dr came in and said that I did well (though I distinctly remember fighting them when I was coming out of anesthesia. My liver was shrunk.  he said that I did good on my diet. Nurses were trying to send me home today.  He said earliest tomorrow but maybe stay one more day.  Im weak so I am going to take him up on that. I cant drink much at all.  They want me to  do clear liquids but I'm just not feeling it. I did walk today and took a shower. Yesterday my girlfriend came out to see me and she said I was so out of it..she couldnt wake me.  MORPHINE IS NO JOKE!!! The hospital of course is nice.  This is the only one I come to for my babies and my hysterectomy so it was natural choice.  They have a full bariatric ward. Which is cool because the nurses are specialized..know what everyone is going thru.  One nurse told me she had lap band.  She looks good too :)

Oh...the stuff they make you drink for the xray O-M-G...the stuff is absolutely nasty.  But its necessary to make sure there are no leaks.  There weren't any praise God.What else can I say? My husband stayed up with me all night...even though we aren't on good terms. I told him I appreciated him being here..which I do.  Oh..use the breathing thingy.  I didn't want the oxygen..but I know its important to keep your lungs clear. 

They are really on me about not eating/drinking. UGH!!I just dont feel like it.  And about to take some lortab so I probably wont be able to write much more anyway.  I just wanted to blog about whats going on so far.  Tell all my peeps who are about to start that it's all good.  You will do fine, especially if you have a great staff & hospital like I am in :) If I can keep my eyes open, I will blog more later
