Post surgery- back at the babysitters!

So I made it thru the surgery. So much for going home to my own bed to sleep it off. Because of the anesthesia and the whole stupid sleep apnea thing I am not to be alone tonight. So while I was still in recovery, Sharon drew the short straw and here I am.

Damn Deer!! My port had to be moved over about 2 inches because where my port was before didn't have enough stable tissue left after the sutures were ripped out. Again, Damn Deer! I also got my fill that I was supposed to get last week. He put in another 1.5cc's. That puts me at 3.5cc's now.

And would it be my story if something didn't go wrong?! I think not. I made it without any problems until I got to the 2nd recovery room. They took me to the 2nd floor for surgery, then to recovery then back down to outpatient surgery before I was able to go home. While I was relaxing and making out a list of the things I needed since I wasn't going to go home, I felt something on my hand. I thought maybe I had spilled some of my yummy liquid pain medicine. Nope, of course not! I was bleeding! Boy was I bleeding. I soaked my gown and 2 blankets. So my dad had to leave the room while they put pressure on my wound and cut my gown off me. Do I know how to get attention or what? lol. The doc was paged and he wasn't worried. But they still kept me about 45 minutes longer until they felt better about setting me free.

Here I am, tucked in nicely at my very good friend Sharon's house. My dad was nice enough to bring me some very important things, puter, blankets, cloths, toothbrush & toothpaste. Plus my mom bought me some juice and chai tea latte and ice cream. Yes, I am going to at least get some good stuff while I am on a full liquid diet until Wednesday.

My poor dog is gonna be so mad at me thou. But it's probably better since she would be trying to sit on my lap if I were home. But I can spend tom night with her since I get out of work tomorrow. I didn't want to have to miss work anymore. This a big ole pain in the A$$. My mother even says that if anything bad is going to happen, it will happen to me.

I am getting a little drowsy now. That liquid pain stuff knocks me on my butt.

Until next time, I'll keep on going trying not to go crazy. I can just imagine Jim thinking I am already there. Hopefully tomorrow's tops weigh in goes well. Wish me luck, I am certainly going to need it.
PS if I miss spell anything that's missing a letter G forgive me, that letter sticks.
