4 days out!
Jan 10, 2011
I am home from the hospital, after having surgery on Friday. I feel a little better today, and am able to get up without a lot of pain. That left side is a real mess. Everyone was right when they said the left side would hurt the worst. I have 6 puncture sites and have had no drainage. I didn't have a drain which was a real relief. I have had diarrhea since I Saturday. And no one seems to understand then problem with Lactose. They fed me stuff with milk in as soon as I passed the swallow test. Then they sent me home with orders to drink something with milk in it. So I guess I am on my own when it comes to this first two weeks diet. I kind of thought the diarrhea would go away after I got off the milk, but not so far. I'm wondering if it has to do with the sugars. I am sending my husband out to look for the protein shots that I keep hearing about. I looked it up and it is a no sugar product.I am doing great with my intake of water. The only time I am dealing with nausea is after I drink the protein, or take some medication. I haven't had any vomiting. If I can overcome the diarrhea I will be home free. I know the soreness will go away with time.
So for now, I will rest, drink, and take my pain medication.
