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.

I had my gallbladder out today and I am wicked sore. I just took a pain med. I had something to eat even tho my stomach was upset. I had to eat something for the latuda. I had a little turkey sandwich after post op but I didn’t eat more than a couple bites.

My oxygen was low after surgery so they had to keep me longer than intended. I tried to sleep but the nurse kept coming in.

I had a little snooze when I came home. Hope i can sleep tonight.

Some excitement today. There was a big boom around 215pm today in Boston. They don’t know if it was an earthquake or a meteor. I heard it as I was walking to the bus stop. I thought it was thunder but there was no lightening. Be interesting to see where the meteor hit.

It took forever for me to go out today. I didn’t want to because it was cold and windy as fuck out. The rain was hard at times but had stopped by the afternoon. But I needed to get my meds and a few groceries. And a few groceries was all I got. There wasn’t much money for me to get what I wanted. Everything is so expensive. But I have my turkey and bread for a sandwich post op for Monday.

I came home and needed a nap. I have no idea what I am going to have for dinner. Probably soup because I am cold. It is 63F in my room. I had to put on socks and a long sleeve shirt. I might have to reach for a sweatshirt.

I snoozed with the puppy today. She was being affectionate today. I love when she does that. She is such a good girl. Too bad the weather sucked for a walk.

I finally got my grades back! I passed the class with a C+! I got a 72 on the final. I did better than I thought I did. I am so glad. I started figuring out how many classes I need to finish. 11 classes with taking 3 classes in either fall of 27 or spring of 28. I still need to take a 400 level psych class, which will be spring of 27. I am getting so close yet it feels so far away.
