One Day Post Op!

Aug 27, 2009

One day post op! Can't believe that I am actually saying that! Woop Woop!  I tried to get on here yesterday and update but it just was not working.
Surgery went good.  No unexpected problems, just extra scar tissue from the histerectomy that I had done a few years ago.  Got to the hospital at 5 am yesterday and they wheeled me back for surgery at 7:30am. The nice doctor gave me some meds to make me sleepy on the way back to the OR and I remember going back there, and looking at the light and having the oxygen mask put on my face and then waking up in the recovery room.  Everyone that took care of me or is taking care of me is great! could not ask for a better group of people to do it!  After sugery I slept off and on.  Thank god for the little button to help manage my pain.  I am sure I would be very miserable without it!  By the evening I was ready to get up and moving, and walking, and to get the foley cathater out, but they told me that I needed to wait until tomorrow.  I needed to have the x-ray of my new stomache done before they could take the cath out. Oh bah!
But, I did go and have my new stomache x-ray'd today and it works just the way it is supposed to, no leaks and empties good.  I got to get that cath taken out, and that means that I am up and walking about!  Sure is nice to be able to walk about, even though I still have me IV pole to bring along with me, but that will be okay, it has my button on it.  And with my new stomache working let the sipping begin!
