Home! Day 2
Dec 17, 2010
I got home yesterday.
I am hurting pretty bad (left rib) and inner pain--feels like my newly cut free tummy is rolling around trying to find a new home. LOL
Pain meds are helping...I'm down to the Tylenol off the narcotics :) That is good news.
I did manage to get out of bed today by myself (no hard task since our bed is like 3 1/2 feet from floor to mattress top).
I ate a little cream of wheat today with splenda--and country crock...two tiny teaspoons did the trick. First time I had any rumblings of hunger--I think it was probably gas anyway LOL.
I am worried about liquid intake a little. I love straws--hubby took them away. I hate sipping. I do not feel like I am getting enough. Hard to measure.
Also--I am continuing to drink 2-3 ounces of liquid protein to help keep the protein up each day.
PostOp visit is Wed to remove staples.
And away we gooooooooooooo.............
