2 days post-op
Mar 18, 2009
Time has flown by so quickly. Just a few weeks ago I was bemoaning that I had 7 weeks to wait until surgery...and here I am, 2 days post op. Truly amazing! The day after surgery was a bit rocky..lots of dizziness and nausea...but both seemed to go away as soon as I got out of bed (still in the hospital) and started walking. If anyone tells you that hospitals are not places to get any sleep...believe them! There was sooo much noise...and the nurses don't seem to care people are trying to sleep here!! But! don't think for a moment I a complaining of the Kaiser staff...what a wonderul careing group of people..from the pre-op nurse who said she was setting me for a 'massage' to the floor nurses who cared how much distress I was in with the nausea. And my Doc was the best! So down to earth and easy to talk to...makes ya feel good when your doctor acknowledges the work you accomplished to get to surgery...that we're in this together to make it successful. Awesome!Today is 100% better...sore but no pain..haven't even taken liquid pain killer since 6am this morning. Again Amazing! It's also 'interesting' to discover just exactly what 'full pouch' means...not like the old days at all...just lot of pressure and hint of pain if I don't stop feeding! :-) And I love this Strawberry sf jello...haven't had jello since I was a kid...what I nice discovery.
Well, time for walkng to the corner...and then back to the water...sip sip sip sip.....
