My surgery was on Wednesday. Today is Sunday. This is the first day that I felt good enough to type.
Every movement hurt. They gave me a prescription for oxycontin. I did not fill it. Not only do I want to avoid these drugs but they also make me totally loopy and severely constipated. Nope not doing it. I'll stick with Tylenol to take the edge off.
Me and my daughter have been binge watching 'The Good Place". This was truly a life saver and took my mind off of my body.
Taking blood thinners in the form of a shot. This is to prevent another DVT aka blood clot. I had a blood clot in my leg the last time I had a surgery which was my thyroidectomy. It happened 2 days after that surgery. Not taking any chances. The only thing is, is that my husband had to give the shots. He stepped up to the plate. The first time was a little hard for him but I think it's ok now.
So feeling a lot better now except for this bloating of my entire stomach. I literally gained 4 pounds. They said that this should go away in a few weeks.
Been trying to take small walks. It feels pretty good but then I get really tired. I'll have to build up slowly. Running will have to be on hold for several weeks. Not allowed to lift anything heavy.
