Recovering, and thank God for drugs!

Welp, I made it through the surgery OK. My stint in the recovery room took a little longer than expected because the anesthesia made me sick, so they wouldn’t let me leave until I felt that I could keep the coke and crackers they kept shoving under my nose down. (and I almost made it home … incidentally, their collapsible barf bags are neat!) They gave me Percocet, so as long as I keep taking a couple every few hours, I don’t really feel too much pain. Though for some unGodly reason, I thought I could work from home today and tomorrow — what was I thinking? LOL! It hurts to sit up, so I’m taking today off too, and maybe tomorrow, we’ll have to see. Jim was nice enough to set my laptop up by our bed, so I can lay here and surf and type during my “awake times”, hehehe. :D

So, yeah, I’m doing OK. Moving around hurts like hell, so I’m pretty much just staying in bed (though getting up to go to the bathroom is an adventure, LOL!). The Percocet makes me a little dizzy, so Jim won’t let me walk anywhere or do anything by myself … which suits me just fine, for now. ;)

Thank you all for the warm wishes. With any luck I’ll be up and about in a few days. :)

Love!

Nicki

    I knew you could do it! I hope you have the gall stones in a jar on the mantle.

    Been there done that. When I was in the hospital, the
    doctors wanted me to stay off my feet. I can’t, I have
    to work through the pain, I seem to heal faster when I
    move around. Get mad at the pain and tell it won’t hold
    you back and one day you’ll notice it’s gone. I’ve lived with pain for so long that I measure it according to the number of pills I take. When I was in the hospital, I was asked to rate pain on a scale of 1-10. My answer was often 20! I had a hard time getting them to understand that the tiny doses of pain medication I was receiving had no effect.

    GET WELL SOON! I don’t feel good about teasing someone
    when they’re down. snicker

    I support you to be getting better and better. I have never been taken a surgery but I can feel your hard time to recovery. I’m sure you can enjoy your life again. I pray for you.
