4 DAYS OUT

belladona

558 views

Well I cant believe I did this !!!!!!!!!! I dont want to freak any one out, but it was the worst pain I ever felt post op for about 10 minutes than thats it ? KIND OF WIERD. The surgery is no joke , but after that waking up bs was over with and the nurses figuered out what to give me the pain part was kind of non existant. After day one they take the auto pump away lol. But honestly you dont need any more or at least I didnt .I use the percocets to sleep at night thats about it, not for pain. On to day two the dreaded test, I had no trouble with that, the consistancy of liquid is gross but doable so off to liquids, Liquids went well I passed so far so good next the tray of pureed foods no go I got so nauseous of course I started to cry , lol cant help it hate to puke but the nurses taught me a trick when you feel nauseous smell an alcahol prep and it kills it right there. So instead of going home they keep me one extra day. At 300am in the middle of nowhere I decide to sip a medicine cup of water and bam nausea again so I cried again lol but I didnt vomit. and day three tried more pureed foods and did better. So today is day 4 I am proud of myself I drank all day hit my 65 ounces had an entire can of tomato soup at one time, then I dont want to sound gross right to the camode. Everything I have goes right through me , but no complaints , had over 40 grams of protein and wound up back in the freakin ER. My leg blew up and was killing me it turns out its a superficial clot not the kind that can kill you so they say , hope not . Its been quite a few days my god im glad its done. does anyone out there think its wierd I can drink so much. Its mostly liquids I take in the pureed food is like a teaspoon and a half at a time but idn, any input would be much appreciated.

wow- i am surprised you can get those fluids in like that - especially if you were having so much trouble with nausea.

Did they give you any blood thinner injections while you were a patient--like heparin or lovenox? That clot business was my biggest fear. I made sure the nurses didn't "forget" to give me my injections Cuz it happens.

So do you still get nauseated?

yes they had me on heparin injections my right side looks like purple marble from the lovly bruises. In the hospital they gave me a shot to overcome my nausea but it was fast and as soon as they shoved alcohol prep near my nose it was ok. Yes it takes me all day but i can sip 65 ounces. do I have a sleeve?

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
