I like the word sturdy! Lol

I went in for my surgery yesterday at 12:45. Waking up was a bear. I was in a lot of pain for a very short time and they quickly got it under control. I slept pretty good last night. Getting my fluids in is taking some getting used to. They want me to do 2 oz every 15 minutes. I tried to introduce Boost and my stomach told me that wasn't hopping today. Lol Overall, I feel surprisingly well for having surgery. I asked for an abdominal binder, and it has helped me tremendously. Happy Healing!

LOL. I will remember this. My biggest fear is the pain. I am a big ole baby and have a low tolerance to pain. hahaha.

Thanks for the advice. I am going to buy me a cozy pair of sweatpants after work. I never thought about a pillow, but it makes sense. It has been a long process with Kaiser, let me tell you. I have been in the program well over a year. I have a super surgeon and the hospital I am going to is nice

I asked about this. This Kaiser has the solar blankets they pump heat into! I am excited about this

I am contemplating buying one just in case. My friends said it was a life saver

Me too! Thanks

Thank you Lisa! You are a trooper! It sounds like you are doing well after your procedure!

They say I will be there for 2 nights, I am hoping that is the longest I am there. My husband will be staying at a hotel near the hospital and will be coming to visit me often

Has anyone used an abdominal binder right after surgery?

Oh, I never thought of that!

Oh, I will definitely bring a book, just in case Thanks!

Thank you so much! I am so excited!

Oh, I never thought of pajama pants! Thanks!

I am probably way over thinking this. LOL. Nerves got me so scatter brained
