8 Hours Post-Op
Well I am in my room and feeling pretty good. Not much pain except when breathing deep. I have been on 3 walks and had to have 2 doses of nausea meds. I didn't ask for it immediately so both times I had the dry heaves. Let me tell you, THAT HURTS BAD BAD BAD BAD and I cannot put enough bads in the message. I didn't have have a cath during surgery, but could pee a couple hours ago and got one. I guess the pain meds are pretty good because the cath wasn't as bad as I expected. It felt pretty weird going in and coming out. Hopefully I will be able to pee by midnight otherwise it's another cath. It's not bad as I said, but I am not looking forward to it either.
I don't get to eat until tomorrow but I've been drinking pretty good. I will try to post again tomorrow morning. No turning back now!!!!
