Two Weeks Out Already

Dec 30, 2012

I better post something while I still remember if. Surgery was OK. My brother Kev came with me to the hospital in his wheelchair and ready to be there for me. Got there late at 6:30 instead of 6:00. Was still a little sick from having a cold. Had a little bit of a cough. Told them but they said it would be OK. One thing led to another and I woke up with the most horrific left shoulder pain. The nurse kept saying, take a deep breath hun, take a deep breath. They said my heart rate was super low. I kept wanting to fall asleep but they kept waking me up. They then took me to my own room with a little couch. I kept asking for my brother to come in. They called him. He told me that they told him that I was having a hard time waking up. He ended up waiting 3+ hours vs.the 1 hour they originally said. So I got up and walked around right away. I wanted the shoulder pain to go away. They were giving me deladin which was making me feel sick and not helping the shoulder pain. So I guess I just kept falling Asleep every time they gave the pain meds. My bro passed out on the couch and I covered him. I kept walking around. Saw the doc in the hallway, I told him I was ready to go home. he said I was gonna do the leak test then I can go home. The next morning I did the leak test. I told my bro to go home but he didnt want to leave. I love him. He's the best brother ever. So leak test went good, the stuff they gave me to drink was awful!! OMG for real! But I made it. Went home about 5 or 6 pm that same day. Got home and the horrible gas pain in shoulder transfered to my neck. Also, I felt all these hunger pains. I felt like I was starving. But I knew from reading all the posts here on OH that when that happens, I probably need an acid reducer. I called the doctors office and asked for protonix. That was easier to get than I thought. I was good to go after I took one. I only took those for the first 3 days , after that I was no longer feeling hungry.
