Post Surgery

You can order room service meals J I am hungry. Half of a veggie omelette (no cheese) hits the spot, and a cup of blueberries, that the nurses eye enviously.

After a good sleep despite the continuous leg muscle massage, I woke up, looked down my chest and thought: “I am going to like this!”  And I still think that after seeing myself in the bathroom mirror when I get up. Note that after watching the pre-op video “Preventing Falls in the Hospital”, you do call a nurse to watch you. I enjoyed talking research with the resident, a friend send some flowers, another friend visits for a chat, and I have my iPad to stay connected with others. It is all going brilliantly until it is time to get up, get dressed, get discharged. Then the pain hits, and opioids make me feel much worse (disoriented, hallucinations). So I need a little more rest, but we do leave at around 10pm.
