Day 4 - Shouldn't what goes in, come out? - Just took it easy, again. My husband took the kids to play with friends so I could get some sleep in the afternoon. I was feeling pain right below my ribcage so I took an oxycodone...

Day 3 - puttering - Draaaagged myself out of bed late morning… puttered, drank, etc… Really had to pace myself. I wasn’t able to walk as much as I had in the hospital. I wonder if ...

Day 2 - long, but a good day - The plan was to sleep until they needed to take my vitals at 6am but I woke up on my own at 5:30. (Grrr!) So, I puttered, sipped, laid down, etc. My swallow test was scheduled for ...

Day 1- Sleeved! - I was sleeved at about 11:30am Wednesday. I asked if they could put the IV in my arm since having it in my hand really wigs me out (I came to regret this later). The anesthesiologi...

First post-op protein shake... - Not bad, really. Naturmax coffee. Pre-op I had a lot of the chocolate, but I ran out. I'm tolerating this pretty well. I couldn't taste the coffee in this one when I was able to dr...

They brought a little dog in while I was in the ho - "Pet therapy"! Omgosh, he was just adorable, this little white ball of fur! He even gave me a couple kisses :) They took him away too soon - I could have fussed over him for a half...

2-day anesthesia headache? - I had my endoscopy on Tuesday, and yesterday and today I have been fighting a monster headache. Often when I get headaches I tend to ignore them until it hurts to think and I have ...

Endoscopy yesterday, went well - The prep was the worst part. It wasn't until 3pm and I had to fast starting at 12, and I was HUNGRYYYYYYYYY... but my throat didn't even hurt after. I was a bit groggy and I just w...
