The surgery was very smooth and I was able to come home later that afternoon. I had a little longer recovery at the hospital because I was having trouble with nausea. The nurse was able to balance my pain meds with my nausea meds so I could go home. The rest of Friday I just dozed off and on which keeping my pain under control.
Day 1 of Recovery-Saturday was my first full day of recover. I wasn't able to sleep very well Friday night so I was really tired Saturday. I was pretty out of it and very dizzy but I started getting my coloring back in my cheeks and the bruising on my stomach wasn't as bad. I was able to eat apple sauce, cottage cheese, and any liquids. By Saturday night, I was feeling pretty good as long as I stayed in an upright position. I felt good enough to sleep in my own bed which I really needed.
Day 2 of Recovery-On Sunday, I was able to sleep in. That helped me feel a lot better. I was still in pain but I could walk around a little by myself and I could stay awake for a few hours. I tried to be brave and eat some solid foods. (Bad decision) I had a piece of toast, some tilapia, and green beans. My pain got worse as the day went on. I eventually had to call the doctor and ask what I could do to help with the pain. After I tried some other medicine, I tried to sleep off the pain.
Day 3 of Recovery-Today. I woke up really tired today but in less pain. I'm sticking to apple sauce and liquids like the doctor ordered. I can get up and down out of chair by myself. Hoping the pain will subside soon and I'll start feeling better.
Recovery is taking a little longer than I hoped but I don't want to rush the healing process either. I'll keep you updated :)
