Home from the hospital

Jun 20, 2009

Surgery went fairly well,  I had a very old hernia around my esophagus that he discovered and fixed (20 years on meds, for gastric reflux, acid reflux, heartburn, who knew). Also a partial collapsed lung. I had to spend a total of three nights instead of one, being a self-pay, that hurt a bit, but not as much as the surgery sites.  I don't know how people have gone  through this with the opening, it must be brutal. One incision site is stinging and burning tonight when I move or cough. I had alot of anxiety today waiting to get the ok to go home and alot on thursday around not receiving pain meds when needed.  Took the nurse  1 1/2 hours past the time they were due ...grrr.
