I am a BIg FAT LOSER!~

Woooohooooooo!

I remember waking up from surgery 3 days ago and thinking to myself "Is it too late to reconsider?"  Then the pain hit me and YEP too late!~  LOL  I am not going to sugar coat it....It HURT.  It hurt BAD.  But it didn't hurt that long.  The pain meds are great and the nursing staff is there to help.  The first time I got up to go to the bathroom I thought I would scream.  After that I made it a habit to walk the corridor every time I got up to pee.  When I got back to my room I would sit on the edge of the bed, blow into my "lung exercisor" and hit my pain pump button.  It made getting back in bed a LOT easier.

Every time I walked I felt better and hurt less.  It wasn't until day 2 that I started trying to drink water.  The only time I got sick was when they tried to feed me liquid painkillers.  Oh dear GAWD!  LOL  My Dr said it was OK for me to have pills.  So far I am handling them just great.

I came home a day late because I needed extra oxygen.  The docs think I am just taking longer than normal to recover from the anesthesia, so I was sent home on oxygen.

Things are great here, though.  I do not feel hungry.  I do not feel sick.  I barely feel any pain at all 3 days out.  If it weren't for this oxygen and my scars I would question the reality of the last few days.  LOL
