Hi everyone I'm home. It's been the longest week of my life.
My surgery was at 8:30 am. They had some issues, an I still don't know the gist of it. An most likely will call my insurance co to find out. Still to this date, I have one problem after another trying to find assistance with this group called New Start. If I haven't found assistance yet, I know it's not going to be forthcoming from here on out. Surgery, as I was saying they found a hole in my digestive muscle, they called it a hernia and said they had to repair it before going on. So after sewing it up, my blood pressure dipped very low. Needless to say I had a rough going in, they finished up, I don't remember anything. I don't even know what time I was in my room. An actually never thought of that question until now. So it was important that I woke up. No water, NOP no ice chips until the next morning. I was slow to function, to wake up. Yet they wanted me up and walking, but I had this huge pain in my right leg. An I told 2 people, nurses or aids, I told. I walked to nurses station the night of my surgery. Getting into bed was the hardest thing for me, cause my right leg or thigh area hurt it's numb, but a certain way hurts bad. I must be allergic to their tape, cause i have redness and one blister i'm afraid to pop it. Ok so I was released on Thursday, they wanted me out of the hospital. I was given all my orders, I could not focus in properly. I should of never been released. They want you to walk 4 times before leaving. So on top of all this, if I didn't have luck I wouldn' t have any my period decides to show up. For you guys that don't have that so sorry. It's life. So I can't move, can't focus, my right thigh is numb, i have all my people lined up to help me, I can't think because I still have anthesia in me. Needless to say it was not fun. I'm slowly getting it out of me. I'm still wondering why I did this. So far I cant' say its been a joyful time. I can't say anything good so far. I know I know it's early in the game, and I can do this. But truthfully, someone tell me what to do. Doctor I seen twice, his assistant who helped in surgery who is a doctor told me what happened in OR. Now.. I tried calling that exchange # about my right leg. NO Answer. Who has an exchange and it doesn't answer some one shake me and wake me up. In the am I'm calling the insurance co. they have nurses on duty there. Ok It's time for me to get up and waddle some where else. 2 Responses to "May 28th, 2010 2nd day home"2 comments
