Itching and a good nights sleep

Jun 29, 2011

The surgery is over and everything came out wonderful!.  I am very happy with my choice.  I still have the G tube and am learning what I can and can not stand to eat or drink.  I have entered into a new phase of recovery....the itchy phase.  My stomach is a huge itch as all the incision points are healing.  The slightest touch of fabric rubbing against even one of the little points starts the itching in all of the points.  I am eagerly waiting for my first appointment with Dr. Jawad so that he can take the staples out.  Hopefully then I can put something on my stomach to stop the itching.  

A good thing that has happened was that I can finally sleep in my own bed. YAY!  I have had to sleep in a recliner because I couldn't handle getting into my bed until just recently and my back was killing me.  I have a really high bed and it was just not happening before.  I am also able to do more things by myself which makes me very happy.  The only time I have to call for help now is if I drop something on the floor.  Then its usually a staring contest between my dog Toby and myself to see if he is going to try to get whatever fell on the floor before help of the human variety arrives. lol
