Surgery is done and I am at home learning a new way!
Nov 11, 2010
Got out of CMMC hospital yesterday (thurs) with my surgery having been on the prior Monday. Surgery didnt get done till about noon that day. All in all it was kinda lousy. Dont want to lie to you! The good news is the PCA pump helpd alot and the more i moved the better I felt.I had some probs with hi-temps upto 103.4 deg (but I tend to run hi temps anyway) and with my O2 level. Sats running 70's and up (again that is normal for me). Those were the 2 things they had to work on hardest. Otherwise the surgery went prefectly and I went home right on schedule. I have had no vomitting and only a little nausea.Worst place that hurts is where they put the "stapler" thru...second hole from the left (think we were told that at class). There is some bruising but it is feeling better and better. Gas is pretty annoying right now...after surgery I looked 10 months pregnant! Now just about 8mos pregnant, so making progress in that department! Trying to get up and move around in the house to make sure I dont get any DVTs/Clots going. Took my own shower last nite and today and got dressed by myself (except for getting socks on-feet too far away-LOL).
Nurses were pretty darn good. Just one I didnt care for. The unit manager is named Kathy. She will resolve any problems you might have. She is very sweet! One of the nurses, Ruth, was like an angel in scrubs! She had such a sweet demeanor! If you dont receive the very best of care ask for Kathy! She will see to it!
I will be praying for you! If I can do it so can you! Yayyy! We are almost half-way to HEALTHY!
