So Nick and I headed to Olathe Medical a little after 5 am. We got checked in for surgery and I went to a room to wait with Nick. We left the girls asleep and told Adelyn last night we were doing that. Ella has a camera in her room that we can see her if she wakes up. Which of course out of all days she wakes up at 6 am. So I talked into the camera and told her to go back to bed because mommy was at the hospital. And luckily she did go back to bed, lol. Nick left around 7 to go home so if Ella woke up he would be there. My mom came up to sit with me the rest of the time. They gave me the good juice to relax me and I headed back to surgery at 7:30 am. All I remember is going back up to a room close to 11 am. They do the surgery then let you rest to wake up. I was in a lot of pain when I got up there and my mom was there. It took them 45 minutes to get me hooked up to pain meds through my IV! I was in a lot of pain, it was ridiculous. I was in and out of it most of the day and couldn't eat very well. They had me on a liquid diet. My mom left shortly after since I was in and out of sleep, Then Nick came up later at night after Ella went to bed. I was not very happy and in a lot of pain still. Started feeling nauseous from pain meds. I had a horrible night of feeling sick, throwing up and being in pain. I would sleep like an hour then wake up. It was really bad. The next morning I still felt nauseous and couldn't eat. I tried a little bit it was only a few bites. I didn't have a good day nurse, he barely checked on me. I had to get up every hour to pee since they took the catheter out. It sucks peeing when you are hooked up to a machine. I got up to walk one time, trying to get my bowels moving. Night nurses came back and were super helpful. Got me off the IV and got me motivated to walk more. Wednesday morning I got up not feeling nauseous finally and ate a little breakfast. I got up moving to get myself to "pass wind" so I could leave that crazy place!! I did it by 9:30 and was checked out by 10:30!!! Luckily Nick didn't work that day and he came to get me. We got Jersey Mikes on our way home, since it sounded good. I ate some of my sandwich, took a much needed shower. Then tried to nap but gas pains hurt too much. I am exhausted from lack of sleep!! Hopefully I will sleep better in my bed tonight!
