Hello everyone.
I've not been on here since before my op, and have been so sore after I've been unable to come on. But I'm slowly getting better and the pain is under control.
I had my bypass last Monday morning. All went reasonably well. a few problems, but nothing huge.
Was in hospital until last Friday - I was SO desperate to be up & about so I could come home.
The pain was horrendous, & I've never felt so tired in my life, but I wanted to be at home.
So, after a 5 hour drive I arrived home on Friday evening & since then I have mostly sat!!
I like to get up & do stuff but I get knackered so quickly it's not long before I'm sitting down again.
I'm really struggling to fit everything in that I need to drink, it seems like my husband is always bringing in something else for me to drink.
I'm not feeling as tired now, no daytime naps at all. I'm also sleeping better at night which is such a relief as I'm a terrible sleeper and I was really struggling. I can still only sleep on my back, it'll be so nice to get into my proper sleeping position again.
The pain is still there, it feels as though someone has kicked me in the ribs! My consultant did tell me that the pain on my left would take a while to ease - how long did it take for yours to go?
My scars are healing really well, the one where my drain was still hasn't closed completely but it's getting there.
The head hunger is sooooooo hard!!! Oh my god, I miss food so much, I'm finding it very hard. I made the mistake of watching Delia at Christmas the other night, oh my, I was almost in tears!!
BUT - I've lost a stone and a half, and am over the moon. So far no regrets. I'm getting stronger every day. As every day goes by, I will get more & more used to how things will be from now on. I'm incredibly happy, & have the most wonderful husband who has supported me throughout all of this, he has been absolutely amazing & I love him so much!!!!
So, has anyone else had their op while I've been away?
