Post Surgery

I am home now and all I can say is OMG THIS IS PAINFUL!!! Hopefully it will all be worth it when it’s over. I think I have been poked and prodded more in the last day than in my whole lifetime. I am so done with surgeries!

Anyway, I figured out at about 11:30pm last night that Morphine doesn’t work for me. And now that I think about it, I remember it not working after my hysterectomy either. All it does is make me sleepy. So, after much crying out in pain, they finally gave me some Percocet, which gave me enough relief to sleep another 3 hours. Poor Ken didn’t get much rest either with all of my whining and moaning. He is such a sport though and was constantly by my side, making sure I was okay. I am so grateful for him in my life.

So then around 4:00am, it felt like someone was standing beside my bed, shaking it violently. I opened my eyes and no one was around, Ken was still snoring on his little sofa/bed, and I thought the medicine I was on was making me imagine the bed shaking. But then it started again and I REALLY thought I was losing it. Finally it stopped and I went back to sleep. Later this morning, I was half watching the news and heard there was an earthquake! Now I know I am not as crazy as I thought I was…only a little crazy…tehe!

So here are a couple of pictures of my neck. But you have to promise not to laugh at my pic! I had just gotten out of the shower…so beware!
