Post Op: Saturday morning, Day Two
well, here I am sitting up and watching the ducks swim by my window, rather delightful. The most difficult things I have faced post surgery, have not necessarily been related to my surgery directly.
I hadmysurgeryat11.20 am on Thursday morning, it's now 8.10 am on Saturday morning. Great nurses and 24 hour observation in the beginning, but I was glad to get to my private room. pain has been very easy to manage, by yesterday afternoon I wasn't using the pain pump any more. Arterial pump removed yesterday morning and pain pump and drip this morning.
The exciting part now, is without all the wires and drips, I can self shower and pee at will, without needing to ask or to be supervised. I am planning a walk after this mor ings shower. panadol for pain, not yet needed. Incisions doing well and the TED stockings can stay off today I think.
I had read so much and anticipated a great many things may have happened. Knowing all of this has made the passage easy, the best advice by far, is sip, and listen to your body. The new little burg ings from my tummy and heart or felt in my throat are interesting!
