Home from the hospital
Surgery was Tuesday. Came home last night. Can't lie; very sore...Hard time sleeping and getting comfortable. Anyone have suggestions? I am a stomach sleeper; but kinda laid sideway with a pillow under me. could not help but think is it ok to lay on the stitches? That's my biggest question. Guess the other answers will follow. I am currently enjoying a 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and 1/4 cup of applesauce and wondering how am I gonna eat all this...(thats kind of an lol) .
My thoughts when I got to the hospital. I was first up. With the IV attached I walked into the OR. I meet the OR crew. Very cold in there. Then I saw it. The operating table. It was black and low to the ground. The thought in my head was "you have 5 seconds to turn and run!!!) but I didn't. I was told I was being giving something to relax me, and that is all she wrote.
Well, now that it is done; I gotta say it's kinda hard to believe I did this and its over with. Now recooperate. So I say Hail to water; cottage cheese and lots of vitamins. Hopefullly the pain will go soon. (I miss the pain pump)...
Let me know if any of you found a comfortable way to sleep, specially if you tummy sleepers.

Congratulations. Had my pre-op visit yesterday and was told that I am going to feel like I wa**** with a truck the day after surgery. I did have a hysterectomy 2 1/2 yrs ago and am also a stomach sleeper. The pillow helped me get thru those nights lying on my side before I could sleep on my tummy again.
I got home from the hospital Tuesday, had surgery on Monday. I am a stomach sleeper, but to be honest the pain meds they sent home with me are great. I take one at bedtime and I'm out, sleeping on my back. They have you eating already!? Wow!
I'm on liquids (2oz protein (shakes) and 3 oz water every hour). Feeling pretty good, just really tired and sore. Hubby had to help me in the shower. I miss the pain pump, too, but I sure as heck don't miss the hospital! Ugh!
