Post-Op First 5 Days

Day 1:
I did alright, spent most of the day sleeping from the pain medication and anesthesia. Didn't feel much pain since I just slept

Day 2:
Figured out that the pain pills the dr gave to me were not helping at all, only make me nausiated. Day 2 was the worst day so far by far. Anesthesia was wearing off, couldn't get on top of my pain and getting up to the wheelchair then to the walker to get to the bathroom was a very frustrating process. I cried a lot this day, but had a fantastic dinner by Melinda

Day 3:
After LONG hours of my husband running back and forth from the Dr. in Murray trying to get a new pain medication for me, I finally got it and I slept the rest of my day away. Only have to get up maybe 4 times to use the restroom. That is a huge improvement from the other 2 days. We also had a great meal brough to us by Steve's sister Sarah for dinner and my sister brought yummy soup for lunch.

Day 4:Great day! Since I can't go upstairs or use the shower I figured out how to wash my hair downstairs and my cute husband helped me.That was the best part of day 4, having clean hair. My sister came to visit and Steve's parents and Jenny did as well. They made us dinner which was fantastic.

Day 5:
Look like that's today. Feeling good. Im alone at home, which I was really nervous about but im actually doing really well. I have managed to make it to the bathrrom in my wheelchair by myself, fixed myself some breakfast, and changed my clothes. I think its time for some more medicine, but Im feeling pretty confident today. Today is a good day!
