Thoughts after surgery

Oct 24, 2010

I am two days out of surgery and feeling a little beat up but I am home.  My cats missed me a lot but I haven't been able to bear the thought of them being in bed with me.  I'm so afraid one is going to plop down on my belly.  I can't seem to relax unless they are out of the room.

I was so scared before surgery.  Honestly, TERRIFIED.  I'm glad I made it through.  I am sipping my drinks (flavored water) and walking around.  My back is killing me and my husband has been an angel throughout the whole process, doing anything he can to help me.  

Overall, I feel ok.  I am very emotional but I guess part of that has to do with coming down off of such a huge adreneline/fear rush before surgery.  I am poked and bruised but no worse for wear.  I can't wait for the gas pains to go away so that I can feel normal.  I'm glad I don't go back to work for a week.

I'm glad I had the surgery.  I'm praying a lot and hoping that the water goes down easier.  I did have some broth and popscicles and those seemed to help.  I also got some beautiful flowers from my company and my friends.  Beautiful.  I am enjoying these a home quite  alot.  They're magnificent.  Can't wait to feel normal again (whatever normal means).
