I had my bypass this past Thursday morning, the 5th, and it went well. My doc also repaired my hiatal hernia while he was in there. I spent one night in the hospital. I feel very fortunate because I had no nausea, and didn’t even need any pain meds until I got home Friday afternoon and started moving around more. When I strain at all, even getting up out of a chair, I get sharp pains on my left side where the incisions are. But I feel fine if I’m just sitting still or standing. I’m looking forward to tomorrow because I’ll be able to add a few more foods. After two weeks of only Jello, popsicles and broth, that yogurt is going to taste awfully good!

Well shoot! Home one day & back in hospital 3:30 this morning. My port was bleeding heavily & we couldn't stop it. Nurses & a Dr. said it happens infrequently. What fun! Hope to be out tomorrow. Hopefully won't start again!

How are you doing???? image.png.838eceb3a9795d885c133701b67cb53a.png

I’m up tomorrow and all I can think is by this time next week I can eat soup...not broth, not Jello, but something that tastes good! Glad to hear you are doing well.

Sorry that happened but why do you have a port? My uncle had one for chemo.

I misspoke- pain killers brain...It's the drain that was leaking.

Much better now. I misspoke @ a port. It was my drain. It's a Rose (something) drain. It was crazy how much came out- glad Hubs insisted on bringing me in rather than tough it out.😺

I’m glad you are okay. I’m up tomorrow and I’m starting to get a little freaked out today.

No, tomorrow. I’m trying to keep it together and might be due to sleep deprivation, food deprivation, caffeine deprivation, and election stress. Plus I live alone and although I have great support i live an hour from the hospital.

You will be great. You're prepared & ready to GO!!! I believe it would be most unusual to not be at least a little nervous!🤗🙏

My cats have been extra needy today and my rag doll was so mad I wouldn’t play with her every minute of the day.

She is Adorable!! She knows something's up. My NFC was going a bit nuts last night when I was having leak issues. Hard to keep him away. And he's not generally a lap cat. 😻

Gracelynn is almost never needy. She is ridiculously aloof. My youngest cat has been following me around all day...like stalker cat...she is currently sleeping on my overnight bag and god forbid I move her to actually pack my stuff. 🙄

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
