I've been home for a few days now...
This is cross-posted in just about everything I write in because I'm not sure how long I'll be able to deal with sitting at this computer.
Surgery went great! I was in recovery by 12pm on Monday. Walking to the bathroom by 4pm. Dr. Ward said the surgery went without a hitch. I feel great. I had a little issue w/ nausea on Tuesday night, but that's all done with now. I was out of the hospital by 12 on Wednesday, drain out, water in hand and happy. By 12midnight I was back at the ER w/ some bleeding. Luckily they think it's just because I have some hemorrhoids... PHEW! I never thought THAT would be a relief to know!! LOL, I KNOW TMI! Ok but anyway, to make this entry short and to the point ... here are my FIRST Friday Pro's and Con's!
Cons (first so that I don't end all depressed)
-funny incidents keep happening to make me loose my mind (Bruce falling on my stomach, a ceramic cow falling on my head)
-I can't figure out HOW to get in more than 20oz of ANYTHING in one day yet.
-bleeding BAD
-my insides are rearranged? this is both pro and con
-I've already lost part of my support group to idiocy
-It still hurts to sleep on my side
-NO WAY and I trying my stomach!
-I don't feel like talking to anyone on the phone :-(
PROS-
-I've lost 11lbs in 5 days :-D
-My family and friends KICK ASS!!!
-Dr. Ward is amazing, and so is Kate!!!
-I CAN sleep on my side (although painful)
-My insides are rearranged!!!
-I'm recovering quickly and feel almost normal already
Anywho, I'm sure there's more, but they'll come as the weeks pass. :-)
Peace,
Michelle
