Friday November 2

I AM ALIVE! Finally feeling much better. What a couple of rough days though. I have felt good enough today to do some laundry and just be up moving around. I was alittle worried because the doctor wasn't going to see me until Wednesday (and I have a busy week at work next week) but I was able to call and get the appointment changed to Monday. So hopefully she will release me to go back to work Monday. No rest for the wicked.

Surgery was interesting. I wasn't as scared as I thought I was going to be. When they wheeled me in to the OR I moved over to the other table and I felt a burning in my iv and then I woke up in recovery. Now recovery on the other hand was fun. You know that scene from the Exorcist where she throws up everywhere with the green bile stuff....... I would win the academy award for that scene in reproduction...... It was everywhere. They ripped my blankets and little hospital gown right off my right there and changed it all...... I remember the nurse asking if I was going to get sick - I said yes and she didn't move fast enough for the medicine and it was everywhere!! Then she took off running for that medicine! I was in recovery for quite awhile because I couldn't wake up and they kept giving me pain meds that would knock me out! They finally moved me to discharge and we were in there for a while too. I finally was better enough to leave by like 2:30. They kept telling me that the doctor said I could be admitted if I wanted to. HELL - I can't keep my eyes open and you want me to make a decision???????? At one point I was all for it. But then I started to feel better and I was ready to come home.

Wednesday I was still very sick to my stomach. I got sick all over myself while sitting in the recliner. Steve was looking for the puke pan but didn't get there in time. Oh well. Steve stayed home with me on Wednesday and I was very thankful for that. I had to go back to the hospital for a liver function test (just a blood test) but I never wouldn've made it there on my own. Plus it was nice to have his company that day. He has been doing a great job taken care of me and Piper too. She is really keeping him hopping! Piper went to see all her friends at the sitter. She was pretty bored on Tuesday being home with just Grammy. And that is how she is when she is home with us. She likes all the noise and her friends.

Thursday felt better. I couldn't believe I was starting to feel better. I ate a little chicken noodle soup and some crackers. But pretty much just laid around and relaxed and took a shower. We had Ashley and Riley that evening. So I cooked supper. I actually got to put Piper to bed. I am going crazy not being able to be with my baby. It is the worst thing in the world when you are use to doing all her stuff for her and now you can't even hold her. It was nice to get hugs and kisses from her again.

Today I feel great. Just like myself again. I went to Wendy's and got a baked potato for lunch and haven't had any problems. I hope I have the doctor stuff figured out. I need to go back to work since next week is a payday week!
