I am home!

Apr 29, 2012

 I had surgery on Monday the 23rd. I was in the recovery room for a couple extra hours due to be nauceous. Then I went to my room and Rakia (my daughter) and Shawn (my hubby) were there. Yay. I felt pretty good. One of the bandages on my stomach slipped and I woke up with the front part of my gown wet. I leaked a bunch of fluid but did not really open up at all. So they redid the one bandage. And the next morning after my 0400 walk I got nauceous again. They gave me something for it and for pain but I ended up dryheaving for like 5 agonizing minutes. Oh it hurt so bad. I was exhausted after that and slept for a hour or so. I woke up hurting and was still sore and they tried to give me a different pain killer and nauceous stuff. I dry heaved again, then cried. I have an allergy to Phenigrin but they decided to give me some benydryl first and then the Phenigrin. Thank God it worked.  I didnt walk that day, I slept. Then that evening I went for another walk and my hubby showed up. He spent the whole night in the room with me. Which worked great because I got to walk whenever I needed. We also live approx 65 miles from this hospital and they released me the next morning so it saved a trip and gas. Yay. Things here at home are going great. I walked the block with my daughters yesterday.  By the end I was dragging a bit, but I did it. I am going to walk the block once each day for a week and then try it twice a day. I start my full liquids on tuesday. I am excited to get my protein shakes back and to start my vitamins again. I hope everyone is doing good and having a great weekend!!
