I woke up in some room that wasn’t the OR or my recovery room and was having intense pain/nausea and literally BEGGED them to put me out again hehe. Not sure if they did or not but I didn’t wake up again until I was back in my room, still in pain but not as bad as it was. I had the dreaded gas pain and although I was in and out of consciousness, I just didn’t feel like talking to anyone. I kicked everyone out of my room and just slept, the first person I was able to actually have a convo with was my best friend at about 8 p.m and then I just passed out. I woke up the next morning feeling way way way better and have been doing well ever since. They discharged me Wednesday morning and I have had very minimal pain at the insicision sites and not TOO much more gas pain. I can comfortably sleep on my back.
