Home, and suprised how well everything went

Apr 29, 2009

I just got home for hospital 2 hours ago.  I'm so shocked that everything went so well.  My pain is manageable.  I'm just tired, but it's the percocet that does that.  I had no complications and I was up walking 2hours after I was taken to my hospital room.  The more walking I did the better I felt.  I only got up to 99.2 for a fever so I did my deep breathing and walked extra when I started to spike a temp a little.    I think my c-section with my daughter was more painful and I ended up with a high fever and infection with giving birth.  I was so caught up into everything I heard about this surgery that I was expected to have at least some complications.  So far I don't.  Not even nausea or vomitting.  I bought stool softners cuz I thought I was going to have problems in that area, I didn't even need those.  Everything is going in and out just fine. I've been able to drink 64 or more ounces of water sipping slowly all day.    I will have to see if my luck keeps going when I get to advance my diet.  I hope my body will be great also when I get to start adding some food items.  Right now I'm still on clear liquids.  Anyways I just thought I would let everyone know I'm doing great so far.  I hope everyone is going to have surgery will do great also.  Take care everybody.    Haven't lost weight yet cuz I'm actually put on weight 9 lbs from the IV fluids given to me and from the natural weight anyone gains when they have a major surgery.  Right now I'm just retaining fluid and weight.  I can't wait until I can start posting my weightloss progress, I think it will start next week to come off.   I feel so great!!!!
