My Surgery and first 24 hours


Blah! So this is the "pre" me. This picture Rob took as we headed out to the hospital (the first time). Hopefully the post me will be a much better sight to see!

Anywho...We did the whole thing again on Tuesday morning. I got up at 4:30am and showered. I had to wash with special soap. Then I put on my comfy clothes. rob got dressed. then we got the kids up. We took two sleepy heads to Nina. We dropped them off at 5:30 and headed to the hospital. Checked in and back to the same short stay room.

The whole IV thing started all over again. The nurse poked me 3 times. Then the anesthesiologist stuck me 7 times. Still no IV. Well then a CCU nurse came and got it, where I had been telling everyone to try, on the first try!

So IV in, consents resigned, and my turn was up. I was wheeled to the OR, then I moved to the OR table and strapped down. The anesthesiologist was talking to me, told me he was giving me something.....and the next thing I remember is waking up back in my short stay room. And the PAIN! Oh my, the pain. I took some oral medicine that did nothing. Then later they gave me iv pain meds...and an hour later we headed home. 

Rob and I got home. And I got settled. Then he went to get the girls. They both made me a present.

Emalee feel asleep. And So did I off and on. I watched some time, wold fall asleep. I got up and walked. Ate some italian ice. Walked. Took pain meds. Walked. Slept. Texted. Slept. Walked....

I woke up multiple times during the night. I walked at 2 am. Paige got up before 6. I took some pain meds and walked. Then slept. 

Today I have been walking and resting. The gas pains are starting. The muscle pain is getting a little better. 

Emalee walked laps with me. It was very cute. 

24 hrs home. I am doing okay. But I am hoping to feel better soon!

I have only consumed about 100 cals...so it will be nice when I can eat a little more.
