3 days post op

So it is now 3 days post op and I am still a little loopy so I will try to you all up on what’s been happening the last few days……
Thursday was surgery day! I got to the hospital right at 6:00am as instructed and they immediately escorted me to pre-op. I had to go by back myself to get dressed in the robe and get my IV put in. I had this really crazy nurse that just had eye surgery and kept singing “Layla”(I assure you I was not on any drugs yet at this time). My anesthesiologist walked in and gave me the run down but as soon as he said his name I immediately recognized him. I asked him if he also gave epidurals for women having babies and he said yes. I told him that he was there when my daughter was born… so weird but somewhat comforting. They gave me the happy juice through my IV and the world started getting hazy but I still think I was pretty coherent. I remember talking to my mom how the feeling was like being perfect drunk; where your legs just start get tingle and you know you should stop but you never do. I remember being wheeled down the hall and listening to the nurse say “I hope this doesn’t take too long the baby is sitting on my bladder” to the other nurse. The last thing I remember is the anesthesiologist saying to breath deep a few times and think of my favorite vacation spot…. Then I was out.
I woke up in recovery with this terrible nurse trying to already get me out of bed (I am sure I was in there already for a little while but seriously I didn’t even have my eyes open yet) I remember telling her no and that the other nurse said I could stay 5 hours and my mom laughing. That nurse finally gave up and left. I was in and out a lot and finally I got my eyes to stay open for 10 min but the new nurse never came so I gave up again. I don’t know how much time passed but I was finally able to get up and use the restroom so I got to go home. I don’t remember much of the first nice other then my mom pumping me full of pain medicine. Friday I felt a little better so I attempted to drink some apple juice…. Bad idea…. As soon as I took my pain medicine I threw up. And this was not the kind you hear about where it doesn’t come from your stomach; oh no this was full on stomach and man did it hurt bad. I finally got home from my parents on Sat. I felt awful that whole day because I didn’t want to try my pain medicine in fear that I would throw up. I finally gave in at 9pm and fell right to sleep. Today I felt a little better. I was able to take a shower but that took a lot out of me. I am not able to sit up for very long without feeling like I have a brick in my stomach. I have a lot of back pain and I am sick of lying down. I am supposed to go back to work on Wed but I am really not sure if I will be up for it yet. I still have two days to think about it. I am on an all liquid diet that doesn’t seem to be too hard yet for the next three weeks. Well I can’t stand to type anymore I will try to write more in a few days.
