Thanks all for your messages. Yes I came thru the first surgery on Tuesday. Really only got pain under control yesterday, but doing much better since then. Nausea been bad too, and bowells not kicking into gear yet, so still on clear fluids. Salt soup and super sweet jelly. And apple juice if I want it. All of which just the thought of, is making me dry wretch. Which is really painful for my stomach wound. At least IV fluids, all meds, etc is going direct into a central line (canula into the neck with half a dozen ports). Came off the oxygen yesterday which is good, it gives me a sore blood nose.
So tomorrow is stage 2 of the surgery, and I have to go thru all that again, including ICU.
My Sydney friend visited me yesterday. She was very kind and said I looked great, but I know otherwise. I appreciate her kindness though. Would love a shower and hair wash. Keep pulling surgical tape and dried blood out of my scalp from all the needles they had in there for neural monitoring during operation. But not been allowed to have shower yet. Will need to tomorrow, with special preop solution.
At least now pain is controlled I have been for a coup of short walks with physio yday and today.
