Well I had my surgery on Friday. I got to the hospital with Nick at 11 am. We went to a little staging room, while we waited. I got an IV, and the surgeon, nurses, and anesthesiologist came to talk to me. I finally went to the OR at about 2 pm. They put something in my IV, and had be breathe from an oxygen mask, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery and it was 5 o'clock. I was really really out of it, but in a lot of pain. The sun was shining right in my eyes until the nurses finally realized that they should close the blinds. They gave me Fentanyl for the pain, but it didn't work. That's what they gave me while I was in labor too, and it didn't work then either!
I finally got wheeled to my room at about 6 or so. The nurses couldn't find Nick.. I guess he was in the cafeteria with his parents or something. I called him on the phone and he and his parents and Logan came up to the room. I was very nauseous, and threw up a couple of times. That hurt so bad!! I had to use the bathroom, eat, and walk around before I could leave the hospital. I was so sick to my stomach and in so much pain that I couldn't do any of those things! They finally gave me some anti-nausea medication, and some Percocet for the pain. I was so tired I kept falling asleep every five minutes. Nick kept trying to make me drink water, so I would pee.
At about 9:30, I finally went to the bathroom, and we were out of there within a half hour. I was so out of it, I don't really remember coming home at all. When we got home, I went straight to bed, and Nick went to the pharmacy to get my pain medication.
I slept for almost 12 hours!
Yesterday, I was moving around a little bit, from the bed to the couch and back. I was in pain, but not as much as the day before. I am slowly getting my appetite back, and today it is even easier to move around. It is just hard to sit up and down.
I guess that's it for now!
