Day 3 post op

Today makes the 3rd day after my surgery. My soreness is still there and I notice it, however, it has gotten better. I was able to get off the couch by myself this morning.

My vision is the only thing really worrying me right now, it is all blurred. I am cutting out the demoral pain meds to see if that will help. I'm supposed to go have a lasik consultation on my eyes in a couple of days, and my vision being so blurred, not sure If I can do it.

I would say my pain level is around a 4 right now, and I notice when I take deep breaths I can feel the air going down, it hurts a bit, but not too bad.

My eating has been minimal. I can only sip a little on the broth, and I'm pretty much living off of sugar free popcicles right now to keep my hydrated. I'm also sipping on my water all thru out the day.

I weighed this morning just for the heck of it, but no more after this morning. My DH & daughter are going to hide the scales from me until 6 weeks is up. Anyhow, my weight this morning was 222.8. So, I'm glad I'm finally losing the surgery weight, I was 3 pounds over when I cam home from the hospital.

Well, I'm off to walk down my hallway to get me a little exercise.

i hope you feel better soon--my worst day was the 2nd day after surgery--then it got much better after that.

thank god your vision is returning! call the dr. with any questions--after all you just had surgery a couple of days ago--they should be willing and able to talk to you about any concerns! that's part of what you pay for!!

take it easy!!
