don't pay the ransom they let me out of hosp.
Jun 20, 2011
ok my day started with me heading up to the 10th floor early admissions and they got me prepped to go,,my apointymet time was 9 and thats when i went in,,my doc was so cool ,,he held my hand and actually prayed with me,,which was very settling for my nerves which by the way were on high alert..they wheeled me into the op room and i did the scoot to the table and every one was saying it's all gonna be fine now ,,here just breath into this,,thats all i remember,,,upon awakening though it was a bit different,,i had a morphine drip and button no drain tube,,when i came to i was full of gas of course, i thought ok i need to move around to get this out so i asked the nurses which were the coolest ladies and they did ,,but the minute i moved my head i began throwing up and then dry heaving,,they said i had motion sickness and it's a reaction to the anesthisia,,funny i had had numerous surgeries and never had this reaction,,but ok,,,so i never hit the morphine button again and they started giving me delauded shots and alot of fenagram and other anti nausea stuff till one finnally worked but ty then my electrolites we down so they had to pump me full of sodium and potasium,,yeah that was fun..
the food trays came and went i couldn't even think of putting aything down there but water,, at least i would have something to throw up,,i hate dry having specially when you have all kinds of incicions in your tummy,,i heaved till i saw stars,,i could not get it under control,,they said till al the anesthisia is out of your system this will happen,,,then labs came back and it said i had an elevated white blood count,,,oh yaaay me...at this point the " what the hell did i do to myself'" came creeping in and i just wanted to die,seriously,,just kill me,,,i begged for an ambien that night and with a full 5 hours of straight sleep under my belt i felt a world of difference on the third day,,
on the third day i gave a glance at the tray and decided to try and put down some of the instant breakfast they had preped..i ended up drinking three med cups of that and actually felt like i would live,,i kept that down and all the water i drank ,,looked like i was on the road to recovery,,,by that eve the doc came in again for the umpteenth time God Bless him,,he was soo worried about me...he told me i would be moved to the other side of the hosp and watched cause my white blood count is up and they had no idea what the problem was,, so off we go,, those nurses were very nice too but they were alot busyier then the short stay nurses on the other side,i did well there i was finally able to move around and get rid of that confounded gas,,you have to move to get that out,,if ya want to be able to take a deep breath again..and ya have to or you'll get pnumonia..
another night and still high white blood count or elevated they said,,ut they felt i was not developing a fever or anything sooooo i could go home but if i develope a fever in the next couple of days to call the office ,,i actually know what the high level is and i tried to tell them,,, i have a damn head cold,,i am still blowing my nose like carazy,,i didn't have it when i went in but it's there for sure now,,it will be fine ,,i feel great cept for all the heaving mucscles i used ,,even my tummy doesn't hurt..well much,,it's the heaving muscles cause me more greif, truley,,
so i'm home,i had some cream of chicken last night i was able to take in 4 oz's,,and this morning i was able to take in 4 oz's of a nectrar capichino protien shake ,,got all my vits in ,,my meds in and oh by the way they stopped my blood pressure meds already since it's so low now,,haha,,and i even gave myself the belly shot of lovenal(blood thinner) and it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be,,so all is good right now,,
love ya'll here on the losing side..hehehe
