Newbie..surgery next week.
Well I made it through surgery and four days in the hospital. It was very uneventful. Besides being completely scared out of my mind, I think I did ok. Dr. Barnes repaired my hyiatial hernia and done my surgery laprascopic. When I came out of surgery the nurse in recovery gave me Toridol which I cannot take bc i have a hx of astham. It felt like I could not breath, like someone was choking me. Then I was really nauseated. After getting over that everything went ok. The hardest part was getting out of bed but now I have been getting up and getting around on my own. The nurses that took care of me were so awesome! The only problem I had was whoever answered the nurse call lights bc they sure forgot to give my nurse his/her messages. I was very upset with that. The janitorial service was extremely loud when they came in to clean the rooms. They good of had the decency to be alot quieter. I was glad to have been in there for four days with some peace and quiet. I have currently lost 8 pounds since I weighed in on Monday but that is probably bc I cannot stand the smell of food, or even the sight of broth. I barely get 10oz of water down a day. This is a long road but I am glad I took it. It is very worth it! Thanks to all of you who kept me in your prayers.
