I'm Home

Well I got home on Monday, But I have been trying to focus on getting better and taking care of my family.
Monday was okay. I napped quite a bit and tried keeping up on my liquids as much as I could. I am now on a full liquid diet. I am supposed to eat no more than 4 oz. every hour. I know that doesn't sound like much but its quite hard. I can't drink water at the same time I am drinking anything else. Tuesday was a different story. I woke up not in too bad of pain because I had kept on top of it. So If figured I would be ok going a little bit longer in between doses. It makes me really drowsy. So anyway when I felt the pain coming on I decided to take some, I wasn't thinking right and I took it on an empty stomach....I just then remembered so I ate some yogurt. Well not too long after that it all came right up. Your not supposed to throw up with this recovery. I called the Medical Asst. She said just try eating something a little lighter like broth. So I tried it, well It came right up too. I was nervous by now. So I just drank water. Nothing sounded good to me, except for a protein shake. So I called Jennie, and asked her if I could just try a protein shake. She said if it sounded good to me then to go ahead. I was not supposed to have protein shakes because it could upset my stomach. Well I was desperite. I tried one, really slow. IT WORKED!! I felt so much better. I hadn't had any pain control since that morning and I was feeling okay. The worst my pain felt like I had done a bunch of sit ups the day before. My stomach was just sore. So I firgured I would just take strong pain control at night.
Today I feel a little queesy, but I can handle it. I did get to eat some pudding. My water consumption is going well.
Next time I will tell you about my hospital experience.
Until Then...
