Home from Hospital Saturday PM
Had my gall bladder removed via lap yesterday. Tolerated the operation very well. Have 3 new holes now and no drains.
Surgery took about 2 hours. Stayed in the recovery room for about 3 hours, as we were waiting for a room to be available in 14-A. Had different room from when I had my DS in 2008.
Had IVs, compression cuffs, and catheter. No PCA, but the nurses injected pain meds thru one of my IVs. The IVs were taken off early this morning, the catheter removed a bit later, and the compression cuffs removed before I took a walk around the halls (took several such walks).
The nurses told me that I could go home once I peed on my own. I peed in the bucket about an hour after my catheter was removed and a couple of times thereafter. The nurse complimented me on my output the first time.
Stayed in the hospital approximately 29 hours. Glad to be home!
