Surgery Day!

Sep 30, 2010

So it is September 30th and the day of my surgery.. my check in time was 6:30 and my surgery started at 7:30, I was talking to the anesthisiologist  as he was asking me about my job then all of a sudden i was waking up in Recovery! lol.. it is really interesting how the time flies and you have no idea that 2 hours just passed as you lie there in the recovery bed.. Apparently i had talked to everyone and i had no idea.. pretty funny stuff. 

The moment i felt i woke up my first words were "wheres the pain medicine" i was feeling pretty uncomfortable from what i believe was the CO2 they had filled my abdominal cavity with.

between 10:30 and 11am i was getting ready to discharge.. got my clothes on with a little help and walked out to the car on my own 2 feet.. Luckily my home is only about 5 minutes from the surgical center so it was a short drive.. then i got home and walked up the stairs into my house and got settled in.. took some of the pain medicine, walked around a bit and talked to my family about the experience then fell asleep for 2 hours.

My mother woke me up at about 2pm after my nap to get some more walking in and call a few people who were asking about me. I let them all know i was doing fine and then stayed awake this whole time.. SIP,WALK,REST, Repeat.. just been doing this all evening  and not feeling to horrible except from the gas bubbles pushing themselves around my body..

I also took 1 valium for muscle relaxing and another dose of the roxicet, liquid pain medicine.

i tried a few small bites of jello and mushed them up in my mouth and it went down pretty ok.. mostly sipping just water

so thats pretty much my day!
