The awful truth- 4 days post op

May 17, 2016

Scared, painful, regretful, disappointed, feeling plain oh stupid.. These were my exact feelings after surgery. Woke up in a glaze in the recovery room, with excruciating  pain in the upper abdominal area. Yeah, yeah , yeah, I know " but i just had a piece of my stomach removed. Anyways , It felt as though I was having heart pain, radiating to my back. Doctor came in to see me and said everything went well. Here's a pic.. Didn't see anything since my vision was blurry. And he left.. I was moved up to a room , where the nurse gives me juice with a straw! Let me just say now I was very disappointed with the service at this place..

I was given morphin for pain and something for nauseous.well morphin didn't ease the pain and the nauseou never went away. Couldn't drink anything , started vomiting , nauseous, repeat.. I didn't see my doctor until after 24 hours and when I did see him, everything is ok,, it's all normal..and he left again..

Well a 24 hours stay turned into 4 days. Feeling a little better now, I'm home , still some pain when drinking anything, I hope that gets better. 

I guess I'm being hard on myself because I chose to do this to myself.. This wasn't a requirment  for my life, but it was a choice, just like eating unhealthy to get to this point 

I hope this does get better and I start to really see the benefits of all this 

sorry for being such a pessimist
