Surgery 12/17/12

[doreen70 268]

My surgery went well, needed a little special intubation procedure and that caused a delayed. The MDs were all aware of it, and my throat doesn't even hurt. I was in a drug induced daze immediately after surgery. My recovery room nurse gave me two doses of dilaudid, and then I was on a morphine PCA pump in my room. I swore before surgery I would not use the PCA-I had never taken pain medication before (three c-sections, tubal, and gall bladder). I was so wrong. I used one and half cartridges. I was also nauseated after surgery and had two doses of zofran IV. I tolerated ice chips and Jello in the hospital, walking without a problem. Yesterday was a doozy. Got home from the hospital around 11 am, and just wanted to sleep. Couldn't get the right amount of Water in, didn't bother with the Protein. When my temp went up to 100.2 the nurse in me came out and reared her ugly head. Walk walk walk, sip sip sip, IS IS IS. Temp broke in an hour. Slept pretty well in my own bed...who wouldn't with 1000 thread count cotton sheets!!

This morning, New whey wasn't as terrible as I expected and managed to get one vial in over the morning. I still feel exhausted and napped off and on most of the day. I discovered that Crystal Light Peach Decaf Tea is awesome, and have been sipping happily all afternoon.

The worst is the gas pain. At least I think its gas pain. And I don't know how to tell if I drank too much or not. Yesterday I took a big sip and learned quick what that feels like.
