I did it!
on July 14, 2007 6:36 am
Well surgery was Wednesday and I got home last night. WOW. I worried, but I learned I worried about the wrong things. I was worried about not waking up and if this was the right decision when I should have been worried about the pain. OMG!!! The pain from the sugery itself wasn't so bad, yes it was painful but managable. I don't remember anyone mentioning anything about the gas pain. I seriously thought I was going to die. The gas that they fill you up with during surgery is the worst. It was great discomfort until Thursday night around 11 and it became outright pain that lasted for over 4 hrs. The nurses tried to keep me calm saying that it was just gas and that it will pass as soon as I pass gas. I have never wanted to fart so bad in my life! Well the bubble must have moved because the pain went away enough that I could finally go to sleep but I still didn't pass gas until late yesterday afternoon. Overall since then I've been feeling pretty good. The worst now seems to be from hiccups. It seems like everytime I have to get up from a chair or bed I have to hiccup. Its usually just one or two but OWW. Now if I could just find somewhere comfortable to sleep. I tried my bed and now I'm trying my recliner. Neither is comfortable so I'll be happy when I can sleep in my bed on my stomach because that's when I'm most comfortable. Plus I need to get my little dog to stop jumping on me. The kids are good so far about being real careful around me and helping me out but the dog just doesn't get it. When my husband and I got home yesterday the kids were outside with the dog and I thought he was going to go nuts. He missed me and hasn't left my side since I've been home. 

Oh well, I just wanted to let everyknow that I was home and overall doing pretty good. Now back to drinking that water.

5 days and counting....
on July 6, 2007 12:53 pm

Well, there's only 5 days left til the big day. I can't believe how quickly its coming. I've been in freak out mood for a couple days now and I now its normal but I never expected this. I can only imagine how I'll be on Tuesday. But I will get through this, I will come out of it ok, and I will be successful. And this time next year I will be having the time of my life. Oh I can't wait! Now if I can only make it through these next few days. Next post, after surgery.
