Surgery went great.

Feb 12, 2013

So my surgery was on February 5th 2013 at 2:30 pm. Everything went well with the surgery. Pretty routine.

My only problem was a few of the nurses. In the recovery room a nurse was talking to me and told me that I'll get so skinny and that I'll become a "mean girl" and have a big head because of it. I groggily told her "No, I won't!" She replied that  "oh yes, you'll be the same nice, sweet girl, right?" Ugh. What did I ever do to her?  I'm a stranger to her.

Afterwards when the took me to my hospital room a male nurse took me and had my recovery room bed beside the new bed I'm supposed to be in.... He was waiting on more nurses to help get me in the bed. He was very impatient and could not wait and he made me scoot myself over into the other bed. It caused me a lot of pain and I believe that's why my pain is still bad in that spot today. :(

I had two very attentive and great nurses and they were just wonderful. :) One nurse I had one time though had an attitude and she was annoyed to help me use the restroom.

I did have lots of pain. Which I expected but it was worse than I thought it would be. It was pretty well managed though since unfortunately I need the meds pretty constantly.

I did feel bad enough that I actually WANTED to stay another day in the hospital. But hordes of doctors kept coming in and saying I was doing fine. I just couldn't hold down much liquids and it would get better.

I was sent home and waited for a wheelchair to take me out. A very nice man took me and entertained me,my mom, and sister the entire way. He sang songs from "The Wizard of Oz" lol. He was great! :D

I'm now a week out of surgery and had my week check up appointment and everything is going pretty well. I had a very rough first 5 days. Today is the best day so far. I'm still having trouble getting my liquids and proteins in, but I'm doing a bit better everyday.

Best news of all! I'm down 10 pounds in 7 days!!! :D
