I'm home...

Jul 11, 2009

But you probably already knew that!  I had surgery on the 7th and was home by the end of the 9th.   Pretty quick turn around if I do say so!  I felt pretty out of it on thursday (the 9th) and I remember them wheeling me out, thinking, oh lord, why are they sending me home, i'm not ready people!  Well they yanked out the drains (p.s. not a cool feeling), and off I was. 
The care I recieved at Sisters was excellent.  Th e nurses and especially the PCA's were exceptional!  I loved all of them! 
When I got home I immediately sent the DH out to get me some hydrocodone!  I must say it did help in the beginning but then it just made me goofy.  I switched to adult liquid tylenol - and I have done fine with it.  It gave me just enough relief from this dang incision...which is my only pain.

Eating has been hard.  I am afraid to sometimes.  I just don't want to dump.  Not a bad thing to be scared of I guess. 

Well I'm off...i'm going out tomorrow  and I'm going to try some decaf coffee - here's to hoping it stays where it should.
