One week out!!

Dec 16, 2012

Well I had my surgery on December 11, 2012.

It couldn't possibly have gone any better than it did.  Dr. Pohl was pleased as well as a bit surprised.  I was surprised too but super happy.  I didn't experience any pain which was really weird.  I only experienced discomfort from the gas.  The tube was still up my nose when I woke up... and I wasn't too happy about that but they took it out quickly and as soon as they figured out I was having a hard time breathing and that I wanted my inhaler... things got really great really fast.

I was sent home on Thursday.  Two days after having major surgery.  I'm scheduled for a follow up on January 3rd.  That's nearly 3 weeks after surgery.  I feel amazing. I'm getting used to the pouch.  Learning how much I can drink and how fast. And what!  Water isn't a great option for me but neither is Crystal Light, which I really enjoyed before.  I like hot tea though... that might just be a adjusting thing though.  I need more hot chocolate from Dr. Pohl's office.  If I feel up to it I might take a ride there tomorrow and pick some up.  

Lee's been awesome.  He's been an angel.  He truly loves me... there's no mistake about that.  He was pushing the fluids the first day though and I had to make him understand that I'm still getting used to it and I felt like I was going to pop if I drank another sip... he backed off.  I'm drinking enough I think.  I'm sipping all day... and the shakes count as liquid.  I'm going to do really well.

I gained 10lbs in the hospital... and weighed myself yesterday.  I had lost the 10 and this morning another 3... and then this after noon... ANOTHER 3!!!  CRAZY!!  I'm going to lose really fast.

I have to go post another review about Dr. Pohl.  He is an amazing Dr. with mad surgeon skills.  The fact that I didn't even experience any pain whatsoever?  Come on... I had even questioned if he had done anything to me at all.  That's what kind of pain I was in.  Nada... Zip... Zilch.

That's it for now.
