Home from the hospital
|
Hi Everyone, Had my surgery at 2:00 yesterday with Dr. Anvari and everything went textbook. Was groggy and nauseous last night but I always am nauseous with anesthetic. Was up walking the halls at 8:00am and sipped my water all throughout the night as sleep is next to impossible in a hospital. The surgeon can in my room at 9:00am with discharge papers saying I was doing so well I could leave at any time. I was quite surprised and asked if I could stay for a few more hours until my husband finished his work meetings and could come get me. lol We left the hospital around 1:30 after the nurse supervised me giving myself the blood thinner needle and we were home around 2:00-just 24 hours from the start of my surgery. The only place I am experiencing any discomfort is the left incision site just under my breast and it is my understanding that this is where most of the work is done from. I am very lucky as I have a high pain tolerance and heal very quickly. I have been sipping my water all day and have had approximately 750mls so far. Up and walking about every hour or 2 hours just to get the legs moving. Feeling a little tired so I think I will go lay down for a bit. Thanks again to everyone for their good thoughts and well wishes. It is appreciated so much. Elizabeth |
