x-post --- I'm home!

Thanks everyone for all your well wishes while I was in the hospital. They meant a lot :) I ended up spending 3 nights in the hospital instead of 2 cause I was still needing the injectable pain meds every so often. I would take the liquid one that's supposed to last 4 hours, then about 3 hours and 15 minutes later, just sitting doing nothng and it would hurt a lot, without stopping. So I'd need an injection of the other stuff.. Other than the couple times that happened my pain was pretty tolerable. I slept a LOT and was a little slow getting my liquids at first cause I was so sleepy mostly. I'm doing much better now. I think the morphine and other injectable meds are what made me sleepiest. I feel a lot more like myself now. The extra night I had to spend wasn't so bad because I slept through a lot of the night and when I woke up I was overdue for a dose of pain meds but I wasn't in pain and I was even able to go for a walk. :) I'll try and post a fuller account of my stay later sometime in my blog :P For now I'm just gonna enjoy being home sitting on the losers bench :)

(Gosh I'm burping a lot! .. lol ...)

I didn't burp much if at all the first day, no worries. It will come! Hope you're feeling pretty pain-free soon :)  Did they give you pain meds? I got some liquid one that works well but tastes nasty. Blegh! How are your liquids going?

Welcome home :) Glad to hear everything went well at the hospital. I had to stay an extra night too and I'm glad I did that. I felt much better the day I was finally released.
