stayed awake til 10ish. Emptied my bladder, got rid of as much wind as I could, put my ear plugs in and slept pain free til about 6 this morning when they did my blood pressure. The ward is getting noisy now with switch over happening soon and the hot drinks cart rattling down the corridoor. Im achey but thats because ive been in the same position for hours on end! Got these inflatable sock things on that massage your calfs instead of stockings. Means I cant turn on my side or even lift my knees up. The last few days of the milk diet and time at the hospital goes by so quickly! Trust me The surgery is just a snooze. The days have all rolled into 1 now. Ill be going home as soon as my Mum finishes work to come and collect me. Not long! How are you feeling? xXx
Ahh best night so far
Be going for a little walk in min. Seeing as I guta walk miles to get out the hospital, I might as well practice now.
Audrasharon, you'll be just fine
while I was in hospital I actually didn't eat to much - about 6 spoons of Some weird clear soup and a spoon of jelly. I also don't think I was drinking enough but after the first 24 hours I was taken off the drip as it wasn't working, they tried flushing it but it caused to much pain so they think my veins in both hands had collapsed. As it was I had the smallest canulars in as I have small hidden veins! Haha. The nurse came to get my blood and it took her 40 min of prodding before she got any! Even then one of the tubes clotted so after another 20 min of trying she gave up :/ new I had bad veins but never new they was this bad! Now I'm home I seem to always have a dry mouth so am keeping up with fluids which is good still have the pain across my mid/high back but it's been nearly 24 hours without me thinking about taking painkillers so hopefully on the mend still keep getting the feeling like I need to be sick but I just take a deep breath and all is good
Good to hear from you Rupert!
Being at home has been great managed twice as much jelly which was definitely needed! Woke up a few times expecting to have my blood pressure taken but come 1am I was able to sleep through to 7am so I'm very pleased
x thanks I seem to be really lucky when it comes to healing. But I never took into account the wind pain :/ I have never been able to burp so I think it may take a little while to pass all this gas :/ but I'm walking and moving without much hesitation already just think this time next week you will be at home surrounded by home comforts and cups of tea! And best of all you will have a nice warm seat on the losers bench
Hey
take care. X
cant believe how tired I am! Everyone has been saying how well I look because I was up, showered and dressed early. Still waiting on my lift! Having my canular out now so close to home time!
Stuffed still! About an hour ago i had less soup than what you'd give a 6 month old and about a quater of a small pot of jelly. Felt full enough but not to popping point.. thats a horrible feeling! Just finishing off a small cup of coffee in bed watching children in need. I get tummy bubbles when ive had enough. Not pain but a very strange feeling!
