I cant believe its been nearly a week since my op, all went fine and i cant recommend the dolan enough, the staff were all friendly and dr sigurdson was a star ( despite the fact he must have been tired as he told my daughter he had only very recently become a new father !!).
I cant say the last week has been a pleasure as the first few days were agony with the wind pain, felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest !! but this has now almost gone and the only discomfort i have is seems to be from the port site , the wound feels quite "tight" and i have to stoop slightly to walk then its not too bad, but i think that will get better over the next few days hopefuly.
I am getting a bit fed up with this liquid phase and am fed up with smoothies and soup but only another week to go till i move on to the mash stage. Have lost 8lbs in a week which is good but thats obvioulsy down to the liquid diet!
i am still waiting to get my appointment letter from wga to go back for the xray check up thingy, but was told if it hadnt arrived by the end of the week to contact them , so i will give them a few more days. The care nurse did contact me on tuesday to see if there were any problems/ questions etc, so its nice to know they are there at the end of the phone if we need advice.
All in all i feel a hundred percent better today than i have felt all week so am just glad to have gotten through the first week of what i know will be a long and trying journey
