Almost 4 days post op!!!!

Whew!!! Didn't think it was gonna be so sore!! I have been walking some.  My left side feels like I am going to cut myself into when I try to get up!  The pain medication and nausea medicine really work.  I haven't got an appitite, but Dr says its okay to just pust fluids at first and try to stay hydrated.  All I have left is my jp drain and it is not putting out much!  I had to stay an extra day in hospital due to I had to have a ng tube going to my stomach to keep it empty.  Dr Nick was afraid I might pass a clot and cause some kind of obstruction.  Boy, was I glad to get the ng tube out yesterday!  I never knew how bad that was.  I am a nurse and have put in many ng tubes, but never knew how it really felt.  No I feel bad for all my little patients I had to do that to.  Well, its 250am and I can not sleep~ had to get up out of that bed.  Will try to write again real soon! Hope everyone else is doing great!!!!
