Hello everyone! I am at the hospital and officially post-op! We got here this morning at 7:45 and got in my sexy gown, even sexier circulation socks, and the sexiest circulation boots. They made me pee to make sure I am not pregnant...that was fun. Not only did I not have much pee, but the bathroom stall was so narrow it was hard to sit and get that cup in place. I had to do some Matrix stuff to get that done.

I was wheeled up to the surgery preop I guess you could call it around 9:00. Everyone came to ask me the same questions...dentures? Pacemaker? do I own a pony? Then they took me to the operating room. The anasteshia (cant spell it) took ten minutes to work. It was supposed to do that. But they strapped my arms down, my nose itched, and I started to think how if someone was having surgery for something that was serious and had a higher death rate...how scary that would be...I was pretty scared.

I woke up somewhere else, thought I couldnt breathe. So far, that has been my least favorite part of the whole experience...the anasteshia (still cant spell it) wearing off. It took about 2 hours. After that wore off, I was in my room and asked if I could get up to walk. Didnt use the pain meds. My butt was hurting from the wonderful hospital bed though. I have a little gas I think around my left rib. I've been burping. I will probably push my pain button once I crawl back in bed for the night.

I went to put my belly button ring back in and dropped the damn thing under the bed. I'm gonna have to ask the nurse to get it for me. I have been putting her to work today! I set my iv machine off twice by moving my wrist the wrong way!

My boobs get stuck to my body bc of all the stuff they put on my belly. That's fun peeling them off every so often. Imagine sweaty thighs and a hot leather car seat.

My boyfriend was a trooper. He hates to sit, but lasted all day. I sent him home around 5. Once I get some underwear on I will take pictures of the incisions...although they have little bandaids on them.

my nurse just came, so i should go for now! she found my belly button ring!

Amy .... girl, you make me laugh. Thanks for posting so soon after surgery. Good luck with your recovery !!!

I'm following just a couple days behind you.

I had post-it note boobs after my surgery too!!!:ohmy: I am glad to hear you are doing well. Definitely hit that button before you get settled. Don't scrimp on the pain meds the first two days. You will need them.

Don't forget about sending your drivers license with your boyfriend to the pharmacy when you get your pain meds filled. I think all pharmacies are required to have that now with all controlled drugs.

Congratulations!!

lol, I try! I called my brother and he said that if I didnt start using my pain meds he was driving down from Nashville, ripping the iv out, and putting it in him. So, I hit it about 7 times in over a couple of hours (they told me that I couldn't over do it), and I rested for awhile. Unfortunetly, the people in the room next to me must be arranging furniture...or bowling, and my IV machine is so loud....that I am up again. That's okay though. My nurse is coming back in at 11 to give me Saline in my IV...otherwise known as Tinkle Juice....so I will be busy for awhile going to the bathroom! haha

post it boobs! That's funny. I wish I had thought of that. Turns out what I thought was gas pain was actually where my doc put my port. It's higer than I thought. So no gas pain yet! yipee.

Oh, and my doc gave me my scripts several days ago, so they are at home waiting for me.:thumbup:
