Surgery 1/31 5am
We went to the hospital and checked in. The took me to the back and I went through the Q & A and got my IV put in. They poked my 5 times b4 they got a vein.
I kissed my hubby bye and I was taken to the OR.
I was told that things went way better this time and I did not have to go to the ICU this time.
When I woke up the pain was worst than I thought it was going to be. Pushing the button for pain did not work for me so I asked them to take it out. I started on oral pain meds with a manual morphine push. Dilaudin if that's how u spell it made me sick.
It was hard to find a combo of drugs that helped my pain. I was in the hospital for 7 days and had heart problems during my stay. This affected my pain medications.
i had problems with 2 of the nurses that took care of me. they did not give me my pain meds on time. even when i called them way b4 i was due. they missed giving me meds that i was supposed to get all together. my docs were not happy about that.
i started moving around and walking on my own with my hubby helping me. due to my heart probs this prevented me from starting PT/OT. so we started on our own. they said i was doing too good, as far as walking goes. they wanted me to go to the in hospital rehab but i got better and they said i did not need it.
it was very hard for the first 3 days at home but things are inching along.
i am in still a bit of pain so my post may seem scattered lol.
i am showering, using the bathroom, dressing and walking by myself.
