I just walked 1+ miles and other Day 3 post op observations...

Jun 26, 2011

Some observations...
--My chest really hurts, I have a hard time taking deep breathes
--My incision sites hurt, especially those on the left side of my body.  The other 3 don't warrant a concern.
--I cannot cough and when I do, it hurts like hell.
--I constantly feel like I have to take a shit and when I go to the bathroom, nothing happens except a giant fart, which, does, feel good. Passing gas is important since they pumped me with so much crap in the operating room.
--I still weigh more today than i did before the surgery.  Apparently this is normal due to all the fluids they pumped into me.
--i haven't started doubting my decision.
--I'm counting the days till I can eat pureed food.  I really miss texture and chewing.
--I'm dieing to have a glass of wine although Tylenol with codeine works just fine.
--I just walked Dash over a mile and I am really, really sore.
--1-2 weeks till I can resume having sex, lordy!
