1 week post Op
I'm already tired of being home but also tired of being tired lol, I don't go baby to work for another 4 weeks I think. I appreciate it though cause I need to heal and I need to learn to live this new me life. I see the change but I have no idea how i'l feel when I'm more mobile and back to normal. Thoughts of returning to my students and wondering if the change will show both outside and inside from co workers. Now the tough part of recovery. 1. Sleeping at night can be tricky ...and when I awaken I'm so stiff. 2. Going to the bathroom is very tedious, I sleep in my garment of course and removing everything and being careful not to pull at my drains makes of really annoying. 3. Had a BM today and even though I've been taking the visitors since before the surgery it has not seemed to help soften the stool, I'm drinking some pineapple tea my daughter recommended and will take mirilax tonight. I just need it softer to expel. 4. Drains are still flowing learned how to squeeze it at my post op visit yesterday. The surgeon said next Wednesday I should be able to get them both out!! I am so excited about that. 5. Meds, I don't really have much left except the percocet which I only use early on the day maybe once to help me relax if my stomach feels right other than that it's tylenol PM at night to help me sleep longer, nights are long. I will post a few pics.
