had my surgery!
Feb 17, 2008
well, i had the surgery 2 days ago. it's very strange to be done with that part. so much waiting and jumping through hoops...
my first thought upon waking up was that i had made a mistake. i was crying and having an asthma attack and my nurse was not very nice about it. she kept asking me if i have anxiety issues...then came the gas pains. wow. i didn't realize how painful that would be. it was worse than the incisions, etc. but i made it. the second day was worse than the first. the doc said that would be the case.
coming home has been odd. i don't have that much hunger...a little but its curbed by a couple of bites of jello or some water. i do see my family eating cookies or whatever and have some sadness but i think i am still in that initial phase of disbelief so i haven't faced the real food issues, yet.
the drain is kinda gross. can't wait to get that out. but it doesn't hurt or anything.
don't think i've lost any weight - maybe a couple pounds.
i know this is not the usual first blog but i wanted to be sure to record the good and the bad.
