I am OUT!!!!
It is GREAT to be out of the hospital. I got very
little sleep there part because they were giveing me
breathing treatments, takeing my vitales and a small poke
for blood to check my surger levals. The rest was
just have a hard time getting comfortable and OH
haveing to walk every 4 hours then every hour or 2 on the
last day. <br>I have a cool scar. It startes about 1
inch below my chest and gose just past my belly button
were the drainage tube hung from. BUT NO stapels like
some surgens use. They stitched me up just under the
skin then used special surgecal tape to hold my skin
together. Then I have a row of gause pads covering the scar
and I were a elastic binder around my waste. FUN hu?
<br>I am on clear liquids till this Monday night then I
move up to FULL liquids, I can not wait. I want to try
these smoothes my dietition gave me recipies for. If
anyone wants them let me know.<br>I have my 2week check
up comeing up a week from Tuesday.
