Twelve days post-op
May 17th 2005,
I am twelve days post op and I am HOME!!!!! I was discharged this morning it's so good to be home though I am home for a trial basis. The Dr's weren't sure if they should let me go home as i'm having a hard time drinking let alone eating. But we compromised I am allowed to stay home if I eat/drink more I am able to get what I want when I want at home as long as it's liquid! and the food is a lot nicer at home!! But if things don't improve then I will have to go back into hospital and have a tube put in through my nose and get fed that way. I have been home a couple of hours and I have all ready had two smoothies that my mum made and some watered down ice cream.
I had the all my stiches taken out today and the staples which means I can wash my hair!!!! I can't wait to wash all the blood out it's been driving me crazy and not to mention bad hair day!!!! I am soo glad to be home and to be able to sleep in my bed!!!
I'm still hobling about on my crutches they are a pain! I can't even get myself a drink because I haven't got a hand to hold it. But I will make teh most of having my brother's and sister's running around for me :) Coming home was very nerve wracking as it was the first time I have been out since my surgery. There were a lot of people about as I was coming out of the car (which seemed to take forever!!!) but luckily they didnt stop and talk. There were even more cards and gifts waiting for me when I got home. My mum is very protective and nervous about me being home especially when people want to hug me.
People keep saying how brave iv'e been but to be honest I don't think I have been brave it's something iv'e always wanted done and i'm glad that I went ahead with it. I know some people didn't agree with the surgery but it was mu choice and it's something iv'e dreamed of for so long.
The swelling is starting to go down at last!! I am worn out from the journey home and the exitment of being home. I have very little energy since the surgery I guess it will take time, but it has all been worth it.
