I'm Home!!!!

Sep 02, 2011

My surgery went fairly well, but I did have a leak which the dr fixed immediately.  I wasn't allowed to walk the first day because my highest blood pressure reading was 85/34 so I was bolused with a ton of fluid.  I was walking all over the ward the next day, all over the place.  Couldn't eat until the 2nd day because I had to do the barium swallow test to check and see if I was leaking any more, which I was not, another big hooray!  

Got home from the hospital around 8 o'clock last night, so glad to be home!  I'm having a bit of difficulty taking in as much liquids as I should, but I have noticed that when I have my meals with the added protein, I am having mega spurts of crazy energy!    I'm making good use of it by hopping on the treadmill at a low speed and endurance walking.   
I am still very sore and hoping that will go away soon.  I don't know if its the newness of the surgery or accomplishing my goal or what, but I feel very energized for some reason and I sure hope I stay that way.   I actually feel good!  I'm so glad I did this!!!!!
