Home from the Hospital.

Things went well from a surgery standpoint. I didn't do well with nausea after the anesthesia and they had to give me six different meds to get it to go away and that drugged me up so badly.  I hated it! 

Started to question what the hell I'd done to myself already.  But my BFF stayed with me, she sat quietly in the corner and came to my side whenever I needed her.  I had to get up a do some loops because I didn't know how else to get the "loopy" out of me! All I wanted to do was sleep so that it would go away, it was awful!

So I din't take any more pain meds until yesterday am, I needed to sober up first. But this am I got to have a small amount of Instant breakfast and I had a little unjury this afternoon.  I did, of course, gain four pounds from all the fluid and the surgery itself.  Dr. Huang said things were pretty standard surgery wise. So here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Everyone was pretty nice at EMMC, but I'm glad to be home.

Sorry to hear about the nausea.  That sucks.  It sounds like you are doing better.  I hope you continue to do well.  Hey 4 pounds isn't bad at all I think mine was around 8.  I hope to see you at the 3 Dog Cafe in June.
