Facelift Yesterday - very painful!
I had my facelift yesterday and I've been so nauseated! I am not sure why! I"m pretty swollen, not so bruised, but very swollen so of course it's hard to see the results on my face this early. I have to say the pain is minimal on the body work, but my face has been a killer! Did everyone else have a lot of pain with the face lift?
I've gotten so spoiled with Dr Sauceda and his virtually painfree procedures!

Your surgery is coming up, right? Exciting! I am so glad mine is over! Now, I need to start saving for my next surgery in May 2012!

I am suspicious of the anesthesia for making us nauseous this time around. I wonder if she changed her anesthesia meds, it might be worth asking. I had absolutely no pain and no nauseau last time and this time I have had a lot of nauseau and have added pain meds that I brought from home to keep it under control. I also brought motion sickness patches and zofran from home and they are helping. I can bring you a patch to put behind your ear if you want the nauseau to go away! Do you think you will come to the hotel sometime over the weekend? Are you holding food down ok? Can I bring you anything from the HEB?

Around 1am, Marisol called Dr S and he ordered something and they put it in my IV and I fell asleep for about 2 hours and woke up feeling much better. My tummy has been much better today. I ate some breakfast.
Did you get your fridge? How was your trip to the HEB? I'm going to the hotel tomorrow. I'll be in 135 or 131. Not sure yet, but one of those two. I understand you're on the 2nd floor. Dr E gave me some zofran and my pain meds. I'm pretty glad he did. I had absolutely no pain or nausea last year when I had my surgery. So I was very surprised this time! The face is pretty painful! Wanna go to the mall or movies on Monday? I'd love to find a hot little swimsuit at that swimsuit store in the mall. I bought one for my daughter last time I was here fr $15.00 and it's adorable! I can't believe my tummy looks so good! He was here this morning to see me before I took my shower and he's quite pleased with his work! I am too!

Just kidding! I told her, NO you would love to meet her! I would like to sit by the pool in the early morning too, before the sun is too hot. Freckles all over your face just after 15 mins? Wow! That's amazing!
I am wondering where we can get some protein from - Applebee's? The HEB food court has some good places that have grilled chicken.
did you notice if the Radio Shack is still in the mall where the HEB is?
