Hi!! Glad to hear back from you! Sounds like you are doing good. The first couple days were rough on me! But boy I was walking those halls. Just keep resting and walking

I'm home now. Bp and Hr were still a bit high but I feel really good except for the insension they used for my stomach. It's a bit sore.

Was your Bp high before the surgery too?

Glad your home though!

[mark! 449]

Yeah ot was high in pre op and it was also high at my stress test. But everytime I check it at home its fine.

That is probably the same incision they put the stapler in! That was my toughest incision, too.

I'm pretty sure it is. I don't have that around my PCP, he's really relaxed and cool about things so it's easy to relax around him.

Yeah, it's the only one that is a little sore. The others feel fine. It's not hard getting up and down, or walking, but hurts if I move a certain way. I've been sitting here sipping Crystal Light and Water, seems like I'm still so thirsty I want to chug a gallon of water already. But, I'll hold out, sipping my little few ounces here and there.

So glad to hear you are doing well. I think it is down hill from here!

Thanks. I'm surprised at how easy things have gone so far. Some minor pain and discomfort, but all else is well. I was dry heaving in the hospital after they gave me pain shots, after telling them my pain was minute and I didn't need a shot, but oh well.

I took my shower today, got my bandages off. Looks pretty cool, haha. No red marks, one of the cuts is a little swollen, the big one, but no red marks or anything of that nature. Trying to get in a little Protein with my Water now.

Anyone have any idea on how many showers or how long I can sit in one? A cold shower sounds amazing right now.

Should be fine as long as you are not soaking in a bath tub... A cold shower?? I won't ask!

Good work mate. Sip sip sip, walk walk walk!

I showered the day I came home. I wrapped Saran Wrap around my inspections so they didn't get wet. I needed to get the funk off and begin to feel normal. Best of luck to you man!

Incisions not inspections lol
