On the flip side..

Dec 25, 2009

So, I'm officially one week post op. And I can say with all honesty, if I had to do it again right now, I'd say no every day of the week, and twice on Sunday. This has been the toughest, most painful, emotional roller coaster I've ever been on. Two days post op from the bypass, I herniated, and was throwing up blood and fecal material, had to go BACK to surgery and fix the hernia, So, I didn't leave the hospital till yesterday. My g-tube and blake drain cause me constant pain, and anytime I put anything in my g-tube, I get nauseated. I can't eat, well, I take that back, the best thing I've managed to eat so far is an egg. I'm supposed to be on a pureed diet for two weeks, but the thought of the food they gave me at the hospital, then all that throwing up I did causes a psychological nausea reaction, so, at this point, I figure it's better to try and eat things (like soft scrambled eggs and PB) in order to get my nutrition in than to force the whole "pureed chicken" thing. Sorry, not going to happen.
I've just been a wreck all week. I can't eat, I can't sleep, I'm dizzy from all the pain meds, sleepy, in pain. Please tell me this gets better? I'm So mad at myself for going thru this right now..
