I am officially POST OP
May 19, 2012
So I am offically 2 days Post op and at home. My surgery was Thursday around 3pm and the rest of that day was pretty much a blur. Yesterday was the most difficult day for me in the hosptial, but with pain meds and getting on a schedule I seem to be doing much better. The hardest part for me is getting 48oz of fluids in a day ( this just seems impossible) and trying to figure out what pains mean what? I dont know if im full or im just in pain. I also dont know how much I should be drinking of a protein shake. The visiting nurse is coming tomorrow so I plan on asking her all these questions as well. We found out right before I went into the OR I have a blood disorder, Factor V Leiden which put me at a higher risk to form blood clots, So i was even more nervous, I have to keep my compression stockings on and they up'd me dose of heparin at the hospital and at home. I plan on writing much more about the entire experience, when I have the energy to sit infront of the computer, I will be blogging throughout this entire process, all that matters to me right now, is that I am safe, healthy and home with my daughter
