Was in a room by1130. Was pretty out of it all day from anesthesia. Pain was rough for the first 6 hrs but the worst was when I had to get up and pee. It was even the incisions that's bothered me it's the gas. Stuck right around my ribs so taking deep breaths hurt. I have circulation stockings on. I had no drain or foley cath thank god!!!!! Once I got up and walked 2 laps then later another 2 laps I was feeling much better. It helped the gas move away from my chest and ribs. I highly recommend the whole Chapstick idea. Your mouth is severely dry but I have a swab I am using constantly. I was so afraid and nervous this morning but now the waiting is over and I am happy. I take my first drink tomorrow which I'm nervous about. I hope it doesn't hurt too bad. I just got done doing for more laps probably the last for the night. I thought they didn't make you walk the first day but I guess I was wrong and I'm glad I am anyway it makes you feel better. I will update you all tomorrow on how the drinking goes.
