Home Sweet Home
Feb 12, 2009
I'm home from the hospital. Got home today, 2/12. I was set to discharge last night, but the doc didn't get in until rush hour, so I elected to hang out one more night and have a leisurely drive and ferry ride back home with my dh. Surgery went well. Walking was not a problem at all, nor was drinking water. The Med Tech's and Nurses at Overlake (5th floor) were amazing!
My pain is manageable, just deep muscle pain when I cough, breathe deep, laugh hard, but totally worth it. Having to pass gas was a bit difficult, but my bowels are awake now, with a vengence! I am on liquids until 2/18, then start pureed diet and post op with doc on 2/19.
I just want to thank all of you for your support! And my God, I can't believe it! I'm a LOSER !
