4 days post op update
Aug 27, 2010
Hi everyone. Thought I would give everyone and update on how I am doing. I had my surgery on the 24th which was 4 days ago. The surgery itself went fine with no complications, although I felt like crap when they first woke me, the worst part was not being able to get to my room for 6 hours because they had no rooms yet available! Unfortunately the beds weren't the most comfortable, and when being stuck in one for 6 hours had my body hurting all over. I begged and pleaded with them to let me get up and walk some but they said I was unable to do that until I was in my own room. I'm the type of person that If I lay or sit in the same spot for a long period of time, that area begins to hurt and my whole body ached far more than the incisions itself. When I was finally able to get to my room, the first thing I did was get up and walk asap to stretch my body. I didn't return back to the bed till that night. Ever since that point I walked for 20 mins at a time every 2 hours. The doctors and nurses were all so amazed at my progressed. Walking helped me far more than any pain medicine they gave me. They let me go home 2 days ago. Since I walked to much in the hospital, I thought I would go walk to pick up my kids from school which is a mile away. That's 2 miles up and back and I dint know what the hell I was thinking...lol. What I failed to think about was although I walked a lot in the hospital, I would stop and rest when ever I felt fatigue. Well the fatigue did hit me, but it hit me once I reached the school and it reached me bad. I barely made it home and have been drained ever since. Not one of my smartest moments.......lol. Ive learned my lesson and will not be trying that again for another week or so. Other than these horrible gas pains, everything else has been going great. My first post op appointment is on the 9th of September. Hopefully things will go well there. Thank you everyone for all the love and support. I couldn't have done it without you.
