9 days post-op

Oct 06, 2017

I feel truly blessed. I really didn't have any complications other than they had a hard time getting IV access on me in the hospital but they just put in a central line in my right neck while I was in surgery and I just had them use that while I was there. Pain was pretty intense in recovery but with the morphine, it was all better soon after. I've had almost no pain in the past 3 days or so. My incisions are healing well. I have one that is draining quite a bit but I had a huge bruise just under that one, so Dr. McCollough said that's normal, it's fluid from that bruise. The bruise is going away so the drainage should slow then stop soon. I'm having no difficulty at all getting my fluids in but my diet is horrible. I'm suppose to be on full liquids now until tomorrow but I've eaten meatloaf, a chichen tender, chili. I can only eat very small amounts but I chew like crazy and everything goes down ok. I'm getting my protein in so that is good, but I really need to follow my diet. Dr. said I can pretty much have anything I want, he just wants me to blend it first.
