I'm five days out of surgery, and doing great!
My surgery was at 12pm on Sunday, and I was discharged around 11:30pm on Monday. Spent most of the time in the ICU after, just for observation but I was fine.
The days after were a bit challenging, as Dubai has a no narcotic painkiller policy, so I was given OTC paracetomol for the pain which didn't help at all, but yesterday I got an anti-inflammatory called Arcoxia that has really really helped.
Walking around, getting restless lol. And I've even been able to drink fluids without pain now!
I'm also really glad I haven't thrown up, though that' definitely what I'm scared most off.
Here's what I packed and what I used after..
PACKED:
1. Phone / Charged
2. Two Changes of Clothes (Tee, Sweatpants, Boxers)
3. Wallet w/ Insurance
Used:
1.Phone/Charger
2. Change of boxers
My hospital did provide all toiletries, which was nice but I had no will to shower there lol
