I'M BAAAACCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!
Feb 17, 2009
OKay.... So I had my surgery Thursday February 12 and I had to be there by 9am. Everything happened so fast. First they gave me a blood pregnancy test and then when they got the results I was taken into pre-op. I undressed and laid on the gurney and they put my IV in. Then the anesthesiologist came in and talked to me followed by Dr. Taylor and I signed the authorization forms. Then they gave me some medicine and that's all I remember!!! When I woke up I was in my room and I had only mild pain. The morphine pump kept making me doze in and out so Thursday really was a blur. Oh.... DO NOT EXPECT TO GET ANY SLEEP IN THE HOSPITAL!!!!!! The nurses and staff are really nice but they come in and out of the room constantly, like every hour. SO Friday... I just knew I was going home but apparently I had a low grade fever during the night and Dr. Taylor thought it was best that I stay another night. I had a private room and that was really boring, nobody to talk to. So I just watched TV and ate ice and walked. I honestly didn't have any gas or gas pains. When I asked the nurse she came in and pressed on my stomach and said it wasn't hard so I must not have had much gas. On Saturday morning, they took my IV out and I got to take a shower!!!! YAY ME!!! So now I'm just waiting for the doctor. It took another three hours for her to come but when she did, she said I could GO!!!!!So now I'm home. I'm on clear liquids until 2/19 and then I will progress to full liquids. Honestly, I'm not hungry at all and I'm not taking any pain medication. I really don't need it. I'm just taking two chewable Rugrats Vitamins and a B-12 supplement. When I had the IV in, I gained 12 pounds of fluid but I have now lost it all plus an additional six pounds!!!!!
So now I'm just trying not to go stir crazy because I'm not used to being in the house ALLLLLL DAAAAAYYYYY!!!!
Wish me Luck!!
