I'm home
Well, I finally made it home. My surgery went a little overtime because I had some scar tissue issues that had to be dealt with. In my early teens I had my appendix removed, big scar for that one, and I've been having pain in that area for years. Well, Dr. Jeff said he'd take a look at that while in there, and if its scar tissue he'd take it down, if it was a hernia, he'd decide while he was there. He said the scar tissue was really bad (a lot of it), and that it was no wonder I had been having a lot of pain in that area. There was scar tissue in a few other locations as well. don't knowwhy, but it was there. So, that's why my surgery went over time. Dr. Jeff took pics during surgery so I got to see my new pouchy, along with a few other things. I got to keep the pics, too.
My brain is a little scattered.
I didn't get discharged until 2:30 this afternoon, because my bladder was refusing to cooperate. I had to be catheterized 4 times. Talk about pain! Especially that last one, when the nurse decided she needed to scrub me raw with a washcloth first.
.
Anywho, that's all I can do for now. Gotta get some rest. I am taking my pain meds religiously, and sipping and walking. I am having pain, but every day will get better.
Thank you al for your warm thoughts and your prayers!
