i survived the night!

I was concerned yesterday with how well i would be able to sleep.

I have to say that it wasn't bad. i started out on my back but i hate sleeping on my back, so i tried my right side. it was a little scary trying to get there, because it hurt a bit, but once i was all the way on my side, i had no problems. I did have to switch to my other side early this morning.

 

this morning i'm feeling pretty good. i can feel where my port is the most. it's really swollen there more than anywhere else.

 

I had weighed myself yesterday before leaving for the hospital and again last night...i had GAINED 6 pounds! i guess it was from the surgery, being swollen, and the fluids they pumped in my before, during and after surgery because by this morning, i had lost those 6 again plus 1!

 

when sitting, the only time i'm feeling anything is when i try taking really deep breaths.

I was watching something that was sad, and started to cry, and THAT hurt..... all across my chest, both left and right sides.

 

Getting up from sitting or sitting from standing has a bit of pain too.

 

I keep getting up and walking around so the gas will pass. i also took Gas-X just incase.

 

today, i can have water and a carnation instant breakfast drink.
