Home from the hospital
Jul 23, 2009
I made it through the surgery, which after this week, is such an accomplishment! I went in for surgery around 5:30 a.m., they prepped me and had me back there by 7:30 a.m. Woke up in recovery around 11 a.m. There was a minor complication, I had a hiatal hernia that had some extra time in recovery. I had no idea that I had the hernia, so that was a surprise. I am glad he found it though, because thinking back, I have been having some indigestion and heart burn. It wasn't so bad that i would have gone in to see a doctor.I was supposed to get out of the hospital on Wednesday, but was feverish and having some pain on dizziness on Tuesday night. They ordered a CAT scan on Wednesday, which came back negative. That was an experience all by itself. Today, I woke up and felt better. Last night was rough in terms of sleeping...I just couldn't get comfortable. I am paranoid about the possibility of blood clots, so I have been up walking every few hours. I have taken most of my vitamins today, as well as my medications. I have also gotten in about 40 grams a protein today. Still short of my daily goal, but that's OK. It's the long run that's important.
Other than getting up every few minutes to use the bathroom, I am have hot/cold sweats, too. I feel lIke I am cold one day and hot the next. From one extreme to the next. Right now, I am hot. I am also wishing I could have something else besides chicken broth for dinner. I am really hoping that I will be able to get some good, comfortable sleep tonight.
