6 days post-op
May 04, 2009
Its Monday morning, almost a week since surgery. What a wild ride this has been. Surgery related and personal life. My boyfriend whom I love with all my heart- was recently sentenced to 9 months in county jail. That is not something I am used to because its not the type of life I have been around. We knew his date to turn himself in was May 1st. So that was 1 day after I was released from the hospital. He was by my side every single second thru this whole process. From all the preop tests, to the whole liver scare- then surgery. Slept by be both nights in the hospital and really I could not ask to be treated better.Day after I came home, he packed me all up- took me to my parents and then he had to leave to turn himself in. I really thought I was going to be able to deal with it well and stay strong, but I really feel like I am falling apart.
I have been in horrible pain from the second I woke up from surgery. I understand I can be a wimp sometimes, but the pain just was not letting up. From the beginning it was just awful gas pain. I have tried everything from walking, lots of water, to sitting on an excersize ball and just rolling to relieve the gas. Nothing was really working. I think today finally the gas is letting up, and now and I left to feel the actual pain from the surgery.
I get to see my surgeon today and hopefully get this drain out. Geez, this thing is nasty. Plus the staples that hold it in are starting to hurt. Thank goodness thats almost over with.
I just want nothing more then to begin this new journey. I wanna get outside and walk. I wanna shower! Most of all, I wanna hear or see my boyfriend. Between not feeling good, not being in my own house, and no boyfriend- I think I may be getting a little depressed. Hopefully when I start to feel better that goes away.
I will update after I get back from the surgeons today.
