I was discharged yesterday. Im in pain. Im in my recliner right now because I cant do the bed. You will have mixed emotions I am going through that right now. It is a true statement to say it is bittersweet. It will get better. Not there yet

Oh the bending over. I remember that. It took me a week to truly bend to pick something off the floor. If I missed I'd just ask someone to get it or use a hanger. You get inventive.
My team was more concerned with me getting in Water over Protein the first five days. After that I felt well enough to start meeting those goals but water is key and you're doing well! You'll be turning the corner soon and feeling much better. I know exactly what you mean about feeling in shock. I felt like I had mild ptsd afterwards. Again, it went away within a week. Glad you have your dad to help.

Thanks! Yesterday, my final liquid total was 45 oz of liquids!

So great!!!
Thanks for sharing your bedroom pics!!! It sounds like you are really focused on your healing now and giving your body what it needs to recover from surgery which is traumatic to a body.
Take good care of yourself, sending love and light to you and keep those fluids moving!

Those first few weeks, I also had "tunnel vision". If it worked, great, just keep doing it! Really push to get your Water up to 40oz today. That's the minimum to keep you out of the hospital, especially in the summer months. (And if you are in the heat, then that's probably not enough). If you start feeling dizzy or getting dark urine, you may want to swing by some place to get a bag of fluids on board.
You're doing great!

Wow what a terrible thing to deal with. I hope everything is fine now and your pain subsides quickly.

This surgery is such a blessing from God, of course the enemy is going to try to block it. I hope all went well. Stay strong. May he favor of the lord surround you as a shield.

Well I'm in the early morning of my second day post op. I took myself of the pain pump becauseI was having the same reaction as morphine. Uncontrollable itching. So today I'm feeling the pain. They gave me liquid Tylenol. It's helped some. But still aches. Ecpecially the drain area. Hurts so bad to drink. PAIN all the way down. I know this is all tempoary. I'm pushing on.

The first 24 hours was the worst I ever felt in my life!! The gas felt like a constant heart attack and they couldn't sustain the nausea. I was throwing up blood etc. after I fought through it I started to feel better. Not to mention I still had to walk. Sore, weak and tired now but on pain meds. So I feel good once I have that. Just got home a few hours ago.

Good luck on your recovery. I hope it is swift and painless and with very few bumps along the way.

Youre beautiful too dear! Yes my gas pain was evil lol. They didnt tell me yet how many days. The nurse just walked in and said that I am now on a liquid diet. So I will be taking my first sip as a new woman lol

Glad to hear that you are doing well! I am doing well also. My surgery went well and I feel good. I must say though the gas pain was bad for me and it lasted for hours! It was not a pleasant time for me. I did however walk a lap around the hallway just hours after surgery. I am happy all is going well for me.

Praise Jesus. God is so good. I don't mean to get all preachy on you but he makes this happen. I'm glad to see him blessing you and that big beautiful smile of yours. May you continually welcome him to walk with you along this journey. Oh happy day.

Oh your so beautiful.
I'm so excited for you. Your going to do great.

I was blessed on the lack of gas pain this time. I had that really bad after my gallbladder surgery..
That was the worst thing ever. Ugh... but everything's thumbs up right now. I'm suppose to do a test today to check for leaks. Sounds fun lol... how many days were you told you might stay in the hospital? I was told about 3. I was hoping just to I'm ready to go home already.

Well my surgery was scheduled for 9 a.m. by the time they got me back into the surgery room it was 2:30. LOL but all done. Doing great...did my first walk up and down the hallways. Not able to drink yet just swabbing my mouth with a little swabbers. I have my little push button pain thing but after I wake up I know it's been a few hours and it really isn't too bad. I've had multiple other surgeries like gallbladdel,appendix, and hysterectomy...so I have a pretty high pain tolerance and never had a problem. I was trying to post on my blog from my phone but apparently I can't. Pooie. Hope your doing well. Hugz
