J-Mo - home

[J-Mo]

Like the title says, I'm home. What a very strange experience. I can't fault SRH or the nurses & doctors etc. for the care.

Spoke to Mr Balpuri today & jokingly asked if he'd really done my bypass or had he just stuck 5 holes in me then filled me with air!!

I've no sickness & the only pain/discomfort I have is from the trapped wind.

I was sat in the chair beside my bed with my pj's on, within 20 minutes of being back on the ward, then tottered to the loo myself with my drip in tow.

I got home about 1pm & all I have done is sleep. But so far so good. I still have the head hunger & worried my pouch is bit big as I managed all of the ready brek they gave me for breakfast

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind thoughts & words. If I'm not around much for the next few days it'll probably 'cos of feeling so sleepy.

Thanks

Ive not felt restriction yet. I think it takes a while for the swelling to go down and for the feelings to come and to learn what they feel like.

Glad you are home and doing well x

 

[J-Mo]

That's a relief ZNS.

Thanks

 

[zns]

No problem! Only thing I have found is having food too fast is very bad and leads to hiccups and mild dumping! x

 

[J-Mo]

Only food I've had so far is the ready brek in hospital. I know that's bad but I wanted to wait til OH was in before I had some soup just in case I was bad. Although my 2 lads are in & they're 15 & 16, they'd just panic if I was ill.

You seem to be doing well too ZNS.

 

[zns]

Yeah I know what you mean. I had soup in hospital so new it was ok. Just watch the fat and sugar levels. Im doing ok apart from severe constipation xx

 

[J-Mo]

That's what I'm expecting to have as I rarely go as it is so I'll be even worse now

Hello Jmo, so glad you are home and well. Can you be honest and tell me how it really was. Was it as bad as you imagined love. Oh im so scared x

Honestly Sugga, the only discomfort I have is from the trapped wind. I was so scared beforehand of being uncomfortable but I can say I was.

I can't lie flat to sleep but that it really.

 

[J-Mo]

Thanks everyone. I'll post a bit more once I start feeling more 'alert'.
