I can check surgery off my list!

Well, had surgery on Wednesday. I don't remember much about that day except that I was not as friendly as I could have been to the nursing staff's suggestions to get out a bed to use the restroom and to their annoucement that I would be getting my blood sugar checked every 6 hours. You may not know this but I HATE shots! So it was a bit of a shock to me that I would be getting blood thinners injected into my gut every 8 hours while I was at the hopsital. Luckily, they didn't hurt much (burn just a little) and must have worked great from the brusies all over my belly!

 

My surgeon is Dr. Fearing with Mally Weight Loss. She is so incredibly nice! She was also very kind to my family and made sure to answer all of their questions and explained everything in good detail. I am now sitting at home (would rather be in the hospital) blogging while I wait for a nurse to call me back because I need help figuring out when to take what med. I am so tired, I feel like I have slept non stop for the last few days. Feels pretty good to sleep! The worst pain so far is getting up and sitting down. I didn't really think a head that my bed is high and climbimg into bed really isn't an option tonight, neither is lying down straight and trying to sit back up- OUCH! So I am camping out on my couch.

 

I feel like this is rambling and I am having toruble keeping my eyes open so I am going to set my alarm for 3 hours and take some more medicine!

 

Take care!
