Surgery part II

I'm feeling much better for the moment, so I'll try and finish my surgery experiance.

For the most part after surgery I was pretty sore around the port site (the big incision). Otherwise I felt pretty good. I was up walking around and eating broth. Aside from the nurse poking and prodding me every hour all night long my night wasn't too bad either. Although I do have to gripe a little. I thought it was pretty lame that they woke me up at 4:45am to take a shower. Before the shower they had to remove my bandages. Being the wimp I am, I got a little woozy watching the bandages peel off my wounds.

After my shower I went back to bed and slept for a few more hours. I felt pretty good when I woke up. The day was long waiting to be discharged. They finally let me go around 2pm. Even though the doctor cleared me to leave at 9am, I had to wait for the nurse to get her paperwork together.

I was so glad to be home...The hospital wasn't such a bad place, it is just so booooring!
