Hi All,

Well it's been two days and all is good so far. Hungry as heck but I am drinking my liquids so that does help some. I was admitted to hospital at 7:45, taken to my holding room, changed clothes, had vitals taken, then around 9:30 taken down to holding area where IV was started and given shot in belly for blood clots. They did have trouble starting IV, couldn't get a good vein in hand had to use my left arm, which is LESS PAINFUL!!!!! Doctor came in and talked to me a couple of minutes and then lowered the boom! I wanted to go HOME the same day but was told that since I have Obstructive sleep Apnea I had to stay the night, was not happy but did obey. Came out of surgery okay and was taken to recovery for 1/2 hour, given 2 small shots of morphine to help with pain, which did the trick for me. Sent to my lovely room where husband and DSI were waiting for me. Told them to go home since I would be sleeping which they did. (They went out to eat) "Olive Garden" DARN IT! Anyways husband came back the next day and picked me up and took me home. Had a lot of Lower gas, if you know what I mean, no gas above waiste line??? They gave me BIG bottle of liquid pain med but don't need any of it. Couldn't sleep last night, to hyped about everything I guess. Went to church today and then went to my son's house, and on to resturant with DH, he ate and I had iced tea, I am doing okay.. The only thing I am having trouble with is burping after taking each drink of Water, not sure what that is from. I am on liquids only until next Friday then on to mushie food, like apple sauce for 3 weeks then on harder food from there. :huh2:
