I just got back from the hospital about an hour ago!...Ok lets just start from the top. I woke up yesterday morning stressed and a little overwhelemed I was a big ball of nervous energy not knowing what to expect. I was fine as I said goodby to the kids, and then me and my husband were on our way to take our youngest to preschool, and he looked over at me and asked if Iwas ok and I just fell apart, crying....I guess it was all that nervous energy finally letting it's self out, and me a person who tries to be strong foeveryone else, jsut had to let it go. So after he calmed me down and reassured me as only he can we were on our way. Let me just say Plano Presbetyrian Hospital is awesome, I was all checked and IV's in less that an hour, and I was given some medicine to make me a little drowsy, they wheeled me into the operating room, and the next thing I knew I was waking up in the recovery room! It was so hard to try and wake up I thought something was wrong, that is the worst feeling ever wanting to be awake but not able to wake up I was so FRUSTRATED, for the whole rest of the day I kept trying to wake up and couldn't my husband came to my room and I was talking to him and just nodded off in mid sentence, on about the 3rd time of doing it I just told him to go home because there was no use to him being there to watch me sleep. ... it was awful. I finally sorta got it together around 7pm to where I could stay awake for longer than 15 min with out nodding off so I called home and checked on the kids, and went for a walk around the bariatric unit. I made myslef walk around there once every hour this helps prevent blood clots from happenig along with the very stylish stockings they make you wear. Once I got back into my room, that is when the recovery regret set in I was groggy, my stomache was sore and I couldn't get comfortable, oh and did I mention I was full of gas...I was just so miserable I started asking my self what the hell was I thinking why did I do this...I made a mistake...Then reality set in and I just realized that less than 10 hours ago I had surgery, and I needed to give it a while. Now sitting here a day later still full of gas but really happy I had it done. :thumbup:! I guess on a scale of 1-10 10 being the worse my pain level is about a 4 right now, but it is totally manageable. I am on my way to the new me and I can't wait to finally get to the end of the road!
