I know I haven't come on here for a bit, but alot has happened since my last entry. I had my surgery on Wednesday, May 4th. Thankfully everything went great. Though I am not going to lie, when I woke up, it was scary. I felt as if there was someone placing an envel on my chest and pushing down on it, i felt as if my throat was ripped into pieces, and had a horrible cough. After I came fully around, I had a great nurse sit by my side the entire time. She stated that the feeling in my throat was from the gas, anethesia, and or the tube they used to help me breath. The feeling in my chest was atually gas pains, from the gas that was used to inflate everything in my tummy. After being observed for a few hours,and the nurse making sure I was able to drink a dew ounces of water and be able to use the potty, I was sent home to begin my recovery journey. I was sent home with a prescription for pain meds that to be quite honest I havent even filled. Once I was home I subjected myself to stay in the couch in the living room, and as much as it hurt me, to sleep away from my little girl. Thankfully my hubby, has been taking off from work and has been a great help with the baby and around the house, and trying to make me comfortable.

On my first day home, all I did was sleep, drank some juice, water and did a bit of jello, not so bad. It wable was umcomfortable when I took in a deep breath, still gas pains, and when I got up to go to the bathroom, it was painful at the sites. On day two, it was the worst.I could barely move, didnt want anything, just wanted to sleep, and I got shooting pains that felt as if they were ripping through my chest and into my shoulder, when I got these pains it was so bad it made me scream. On day three, I felt alot better, confident enough to take a shower, with hubbys help of course, and actually was able to use the bathroom (#2...lol) for the first time since surgery.

Today is day 4 since surgery, I went to work today, and felt horrible most of the day, found it very hard to breath, and was uncomfortable most of the day. I am still getting pains when I breath, and have had a headache for most of the day. When I got home, I took advantage that my beautiful daughter was sleeping and layed down on the bed for the first time since I have been home, It felt sooooo good, as if I was laying on a cloud, I fell asleep right away. Slept for about four hours, and feel good, except for the headache.

So far not so bad, except for the fact that I have been feeling hungry every now and then. Its hard not to think about it too, because everyother commercial on TV is about food..lol...but my willpower to become a healthier person, for my daughter's sake is alot stronger than the hunger beast. All I do is turn to some broth(SOUP), jello, ice pops, and water... I never thought it would be easy, but I can do this..... Monday is my follow up appoinment with the dr, hopefully it will be good news..
