Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to give you a quick update on how things are going. Last night I had the best sleep I've had in weeks. If you remember I was having trouble sleeping Pre-Op due to the anticipation. I also like to sleep on my stomach (which it's close to impossible after surgery), but last night I used a couple of pillows to support my back so I could sleep on my side. I feel like a new woman! I am convinced that sufficient sleep is an imperative part of recuperation.
In regards to pain, I am off the pain killers during the day and I only take one at night ( I guess that also helps me sleep better
). During the day when I start feeling discomfort I just take a walk around the house and the pain goes away. My incisions are healing well. It is still funny to me to think that only GLUE is holding them together. I know that it's not only the glue, but the idea is very comical to me. I like to joke with people that the recession is so bad that hospitals can only afford Crazy-Glue to close you up.
j/k
My appetite is also back. I am hungry all the time! I can only eat small amounts of food at a time, so I eat often. I did not have any problems with BM's so I eat well. I am sorry if this was more than you needed to know
The best part of all of this.... my husband is doing GREAT. Although he still in some pain, he looks full of energy. Every time he eats something he was not able to eat while he was on dialysis he makes it a point to look at me as says Thank you. He is such a great guy!
So many people here have said it before, but I need to say it again: I have NO regrets and I would do it all over again. I still have some slow weeks ahead of me, but I am very happy where we are right now.
