I am HOME....

Feb 25, 2011

Ok well I am HOME!! 2 days in the hospital and one major surgery later and I am ready. I cant thank everyone enough for all the love and support. So many kind words and messages.

So day one found me in the pre op room ready to walk out and call it a day. I was tired, hungry and cranky and I didnt want to wait any longer. It took to long. LOL. Once they came in and said we were ready I lost it and started to cry. No time to panic though it was all lets move move move and away I went into the surgery suite. The last thing I remember is them giving me something to calm me down.........................

Then I woke up in the recovery room. I could not open my eyes, I was tooooo dizzy and felt so nauseous. I was in pain too, I am not gonna lie, not really bad pain but pain non the less. I asked for meds and they gave it to me right away and away I was asleep again. My husband came into the recovery room cause the room was not ready and I jsut ahd to hang out there for a while. Once in my room I was in and out of it. It was like 7 pm. I would wake for a few mins then sleep again, then wake and had some visitors and then sleep again, that went on for most of the night. I was up walking that night, the RN was awesome and so helpful. My BP dropped al little and she put me back into bed for the night.

Day two started off with me yelling at the AM nurse. I was told by the PM nurse not to get out of bed till my BP was checked. Well at 8 am some guy came in my room and told me to walk out to the hallway to the stretcher so I could have my test done. I told him NO! and why not he went to get the RN and she came in and tried to muscle me into getting up and making me feel bad about not getting up, I let my outside voice inside for just a min, and told her what was going on and that this was not acceptable. Lets just say things were seen my way. So I had the swallow test and it all looked good and I was taken back to my room and ready to walk again. I had not hit my pain button in almost 8 hours by this point so they stopped it and gave me liquid tylenol. It tasted horrible.


So I was up and at em now on day 3 and ready to go home. Still up walking, all the docs and RNs come in the room and call me the superstar. What can I say, I am an overachiever! They came in and dishcarged me around 10 am but I had to wait for the NUT to come in with the final instructions. That felt like it toooook forever. My hubby came to get me and I was out of there.......I am now home and ready for this wild ride. I am scared to death and excited all at the same time.

Thank you all for the support and kind words. We can all use eachother now to lean on.
