post op day 1
I am wicked sore where the incisions are. The one by my belly button doesn’t hurt as much as the ones on my stomach. It is difficult moving around. I haven’t really eaten anything. I had some butternut squash last night for dinner. It kind of upset my stomach but my stomach was upset anyway. I tried to have a turkey sandwich post op but only had a few bites. I really wasn’t doing well post op as my oxygen levels dropped and I had to stay in the PACU until they were up. I was on oxygen the whole time I was post op until I left. I don’t know why they dropped.
I am sitting up ok. As long as I seem to stay still, I don’t hurt. My stomach is a little swollen but that is to be expected. I have like 5 incisions, the bigger one on my belly button. They are all steri-stitched so I don’t need them taken out. They will just drop off. I can’t take a shower for a couple of weeks. That sucks. I am going to have to get some wipes. I don’t see the surgeon until the end of the month.
I was reading my book the other night and it was getting so good but the chapter was so long I had to put it down. She usually writes short chapters. She still made me laugh. And of course there is a twist now. I love the writing.
The puppy has been gentle with me so far. I think she senses that I am hurt. My bitch sister is home sick. She has a cold. Hope she stays in her room as I don’t want to get sick. She had to pick up the dog poop as I couldn’t bend down to do it. It hurts. I have been eating less this week so far. I just don’t have an appetite.
I had my first cup of coffee this week. It was so good. I love coffee. I don’t want to have another cup for fear of upsetting my stomach. I need to brush my teeth. I haven’t figured out how to do this as the vanity is kind of tall and I need to lean over to reach the sink handles and the faucet. It is going to hurt, I know that much.
