Hi Peeps.
I was opted on at 2.30ish. I was doing ok until the surgeon sat in front of me on the bed and wrote up his notes then the tears started to flow, after a hug and a few words of your going to be fine I was ok. I walked to theatre. The anaethatisist was kind of yummy, he put the needle in my hand which made me say "oh f@@@" he said oh Lindsey I havnt had an offer like that today yet, my reply was haha Im not asleep yet, then the next thing I remember was seeing this women and telling her I felt like id been run over, then I coughed, ouch.
It took a while for me to get with it but really all I wanted was to have a damn good sleep but the nurses keep coming in every 2 hours and disturb you. I just coudnt wait to get home. I was advised to have a little watered down soup before I left but the promptly made me throw up, so I was again support a more than painful stomach. I think it was the motion of getting out of bed that did it. All is well wounds are healing, glue is starting to peel a little, the bruising is coming out now. A good night sleep was well enjoyed in my own bed on Tuesday, then Wednesday hubby rolled over in his sleep and elbowed me in the stomach, he woke me and I woke him so I now sleep with a pillow in front of me. I've had a few baths and pottered around a small garden centre looking for a xmas tree. I've mastered a comfortable way to get out of bed and the pain and stiffness is better to
The first few days was very tiring even the drive home was tiring and I didn't drive.
I saw a few friends yesterday who said they are surprised Im upright but to be honest it isn't as bad as I thought. It is now 4 days after surgery and Im feeling a lot better although I do still get tired easily, the bending is getting better, I have now had soup and yoghurt although last night I did have the yoghurt to quickly after my little soup, so I've learnt that lesson already. I am back to see the nurse on Monday she has been ringing me daily and shes pleased so I must be doing ok. All is well here, hope you others are doing good to.
