Post surgery

Well it is finally over, the dreaded surgeries are finally behind us. I went in Tues. morning for my surgeries and all went well. I had several visitors when I got to my room. Thanks for the visits, kind words and gifts. Sorry if I said anything weird or strange, I may have been a little drugged at the time. The overnight stay wasn't too bad. The pain was tolerable and I was able to go back to sleep after each time the nursing staff came in to check on me. They took out my catheter, IV and even gave me a bit of a sponge bath all in the middle of the night. Kind of odd but very glad to get rid of the catheter and IV. We left the hospital yesterday around 3pm. Last night I slept in a recliner and I slept pretty good. I was able to take the bandages off and get in the shower today. It was nice to take a shower, although I did get light headed and my ears started ringing. Cut my shower short but I didn't pass out. Jen let me get out of the house for a few hours today. It was nice but it did wear me out. Overall my pain isn't too bad but today I have had these sharp pains in the area of my chest. I got a copy of my pathology report today. I think everything is good, but I want to discuss it with the Dr. first before I start celebrating too much. I do see the Dr. tomorrow at 8:45. Like I said looking forward to him going over the pathology report with me to make sure I understood everything that I read. I am going to relax for a bit and then probably settle down to go to sleep. Thanks to all and to all a good night!!!!
