I'm HOME Yay!!

Feb 03, 2011

Ok so I have been home for a little over 24 hours ago, and I have asked myself about a thousand or so times why I did this to myself!?!?  I do know some time soon I will be oh so greatful for this great opportunity and the tool I have been given to reach my goals, but for now I am in pain.  I can't seem to get get rid of the gas in my chest, nevermind the pain that goes with it.  But in time I know it will be gone.  But for now I am adjusting to the new me, or at least trying to.  The last couple of days have been very trying.  I woke up Monday after my surgery to incredible pain, mainly in part to the fact that they were pumping me full of moraphine after at pre-op I asked that my file be flagged not to recieve it at all, it doesn't work for me, I might as well have been given tic tacs!!  I had no idea that they don't use demerol in the hospitals anymore?? WTF??  That stuff works great for me, other stuff not so much I learned the last couple of days.  Was glad to get home where I had good meds, I don't want to be stoned just comfortable.  I find it sad that I am taking 1/2 a oxycodone at home and all though I am not pain free I am much more comfortable than I was in hospital, that with a 1/2 of a gravol and I am functioning quiet well almost.  I just started to drink again, I stopped drinking Tuesday afternoon due to extreme nausea, even small sips of water  would send me spinning.  But I am thankfull to be drinking again today not sure if I am back on track just yet but I am getting there.  I am not worrying about it too much becuase the resident that let me out of the hospital said due to the nature of this surgery I would have to suffer a few days.  Hope I am close to the end of those days.
