It's Done!!!
OK!.....I'm home. Had the procedure on 5/6/2009 at approx. 8:45 am. It was my first time "going under" but everyone was so nice and explained everything in great detail. Everything went well and I give all thanks to God for that. I have 5 small punctures/incisions. The incisions dont hurt much on a scale of 0-10 they are a bout a 1 or 2. Its the trapped air that is uncomfortable........0-10m they are about a 6 or 7. When the air pains would hit in the hospital I would get up and walk, and that helps the air move around and excape. Once these pains are gone I will feel great. I came home the next day at about 11 am. I needed to walk some so I asked my father to take me to the grocery store to pick up more liquid items to carry me thru the week. I think I did to much, I was really tired and sore once we got back home. Eating is good. Not much of an appetite but I refuse to dehydrate so I make sure I am sipping on liquids all day. My doctor sent me home with Lortab elixir and I was trying my best not to have to use it, but I find that if I take it around bedtime it helps the air pains so I can get some rest. Off to drink some broth now. This was a breif synopsis, but overall things went very well and I cant complain. :thumbup:
