Here is my story!

The surgery itself went just as planned. I even got in to the operating room early. Spent a little to much time in recovery so my family was worried. They had no need to be worried I was just laying there. They were having trouble getting me on to the floor because the nurses were in the middle of shift change and so getting my  report to the right person took a while. Then just waiting for someone to get me from recovery to my room took awhile. So 3 hours later instead of 1 hour I was in my room.  Come to find out I should of left recovery with my Pain pump and no I didn't have one and was hurting like hell. An hour later I had my pain pump. I was getting dircet doses of Morphine in my IV while waiting on the pain pump but it just wasn't cutting it.  Went into surgery just before 3pm and wasn't in my room tell 8pm. My family talked to the surgeon at 5:30 so it was a lot of hurry up and wait for them. 9pm I got my pain pump and was up and walking at 1am. I may have over done it here so now I am a little sorer then some. You dont have to walk 3 doors down just getting out of bed at this point is good. I pushed myself a little hard. I've learned not to push to hard. There is a happy medium.  Paseed all my leck test. Getting on that exray board to do one of the test was a *****. I spent another day in the hospital and left yesturday at 3pm.  I am very sore not going to lie. I feel fine if I am just laying down in the recliner.  I slept in the bed last night with pellow*****hed up behind me. Only woke up once through the night to pee.  Im having lost of gass and feel like I may end up pooping myself when letting it go. Just feels that way not really pooping myself. I know everyone feels different some better then others.  I was able to shower myself last night and change my bandages. That took all I had. I have my drain hooked to a lanyerd around my neck.  Seems to be working well.  I've had a sf jello, Isopure (clear in a bottle) and lots of water since being home. My multi and pain meds of course too.  I know I've asked myself what the hell have you done to yoru self. BUT I know it is all worth it.  TIME TO PEE!!
