Dec 17 2015. Me sofie n papa pushed off frm...
Dec 17 2015. Me sofie n papa pushed off frm home at 645am. Used d new mex exit n reached bvmc at 730am. Ive prepared several dishes at home n put them in d fridge w labels. Told my maid wat to do n mk sure quads r alright. Came in at d receptionist n chked in n paid the balance surgery charges. Im not feeling anything just bland. Hoping all goes well. They gv me a temporary bed while waiting for my actual room to b cleaned. Signed a declaration form n then chkd my weight height..put anaes cream on both hands where theywill put d drip. Filled up another form for meal choice. They had menu of arab chinese western n local food. I chose porridge for first day.
Was wheeled in the ot n calned by d doc w a sweet face . on d ot table..she took my right hand n injected d ga. Then i had oxigen mask over my face n soon bcame sleepy . Doc toldme to salwat n mengucap. After surgery..i was pushed on my bed into my room . Vaguely heard d doc saying how d surgery was successful n how much weight of flesh tt she cut off. Was still drowsy frm d ga. I do tt mmbr feeling sweaty as they probably warmed me up after surgery. I cudnt eat anything post op but just drank. Hubby n sofie were by my side . The room was cozy w a sofa n flat tv. I vomited 3 x but only water probably due to my empty tummy frm fasting b4 d surgery n also d morphine painkiller . I think i pressed d morphine 3 x immediate post op n stopped doing so . Didn't like how it made me nauseous.
Then after d 3rd vomit , the nurse injected a med to prevent vomit n antibiotics into my drip . Felt better after tt n cud mng to only tk my nestum 3 in 1. Nite came n papa n sofie visited again. When they went home..i Slept on n off . The nurse emptied my drainage liquid n urine .
Second day morning i had appetite n drank my nestum n ate d porridge they gv me. Papa came at 10am w sofie . Watched some telly. Dr aileen came to chk n saw all was fine. She told me to walk as much as possible n move my feet n toes. I did mng to walk in d morn 2nd day when d nurse sponged me in d toilet . Felt nice to feel clean n brush my teeth. Then had a second walk at 3pm n a bit further n longer outside my room. Chatted w d nurse who helped. The drip was taken off since i cud drink regularly n urine looked ok. Just d drainage tubes n urine tube left.
Mak abah came in d late afternoon..talked abt d hsptl n rhb building . They brought banana n biscuits . Mom helped me pray asar. Then went home near 7pm n then i had another practice walk w d nurse . This time bit longer. Then shortly after hubby n sofie came. We had nasi arab n when they left. Nurse gv me my painkillers n anti inflammation pills. N also sleeping pill . I did sleep well till 3am n stayedup till5am. Sometimes my lower bk itches cos its still in d compression girdle. The ends of the 2 drainage tubes r somtimes sore but bearable .
3rd day ..At 530am i requested my nestum 3in1 n then asked d nurse to help me get up n wash my face n brush my teeth. Then did some walking n came bk to bed. It was exhausting n i had to walk slowly. Hope to heal soon.
At 9am..i had the urine catheter out n had a sponge bath. It felt good without d Catheter as i can walk more freely. Just the drainage on both sides left. I can pee by myself too. But still need d nurse to help me get into n out of bed.
After walking fir sometime around my room..i mnged to put myself into n out of bed. Alhamdulillah . Kids r coming to visit n i odered food for them.
I orderd 3 nasi ayam n 2 nasi grg. Kids all came n after being told to b silent by papa . .they behaved themselves in d hsptl
Occasionally loud but more on well behaved . They asked lots of qs to me n it feels great to see them all. Food came n They enjoyed it while watching tv in my hsptl room whv was spacious
The sofa was a sofa bed. After they left.
I mngd to walk every hour n peed too. Now im resting on my bed w a glass of orge juice. Had roast chic for dinner n walked a bit more.
4th day. Mngd to pray subuh. Walked n rested. The drains showed less liquid this morning. Still bit sore in the tummy muscle area .
Nurse came in d morning gv me bfast n sponged bath me. n told me tt doc will come by lunch to do my dressing n tk out d drains yeyy. Tt means i dont hv to wear d drains at home. Im doing my walking n standing. Im feeling ok. Alhamdulillah . Discharged on 20dec Sunday .
Fitth day at home..surprisingly the pain comes like period pain or labour contractions tht come n go. I ges d nerves r connecting now n im feeling the sensations . Hv mild headache too. Sleeping downstairs on d sofa has not been so comfortable . also bcos the painkillers was perscribed to 3 tablets per day instead of 6 like at d hsptl. So i decided to just tk 2 tablets 3x a day n the pain was bearable.
My tummy still looks swollen n doc said it tks a mth for d swelling to go down.
My first followup chkup was 4 days after discharge (24 dec2015) . The doc chged my dressing..my plasters. Second chkup will b 6days after on 30dec2015. My pain is almost gone n its 11 days postop. Bit bulging still at d opsite. But im still doing things slowly. I can lie down flat wth 2 pillows behind me.
Tmrw is 31dec2015..exactly 2wks postop. Im feeling fine but still tkg it slow . I can sometimes feel sudden sharp jabs in d tummy tuck area..mainly in d middle . But i will persevere . Loving the time at home. Happy new year 2016.
