Got back from the hospital today, and I'm so glad to be home. Loving the pampering from my wife and my parents :)

Hospital was interesting, it was annoying not really being able to sleep, but great to have a staff dedicated to taking care of every little thing for you. One thing I'm surprised by is how mobile I am at home-- the hospital bed was such an ideal to get out of, I barely walked around. But without all the wires and compression boots and bed guards, I'm walking around the house plenty, with very little pain.

One thing I will say is that the gas pain is pretty bad... but once the anesthesia-related constipation goes away, that should be gone. Keep sipping your water!

Also, low calorie Gatorade is disgusting and made me throw up. You're eating 800 calories/day now. Splurge on a less disgusting drink.

"Ideal" should be "ordeal"

I was home Thursday, I've noticed its pretty hard getting all my meds in. I have to crush effexor 3x a day, crush lamictal 1x a day crush synthroid 1x a day. But, I can't take the lamictal and effexor too close together. Synthroid once I wake up, then wait 30 min to "eat" and I believe 1 hr before I take any other med. I'm feeling the withdrawals from not taking my anti-depressants properly since the surgery. Such an awful feeling.
