So I made it through another day! After they got the pain meds right with the T3 I was golden. After spending some time snooping around my ward I hit the sack and slept until like 8:30 AM at which time Dr. Roye's surgical team came strolling in. Looked very much like a scene from house! Kinda comical. They looked at my incisions and asked me a few questions.
I forgot to mention that Dr. Roye came by yesterday in the afternoon sometime. Tony was there and they exchanged a nice handshake and Tony gave the doc a cute "thanks for getting my wife through this alive" type look. It was very cute and I almost thought I saw him tear up. (DH not the doc). When you think about it more and realize that you basically DID out your life in this teams hands ... It is kind of surreal. It is amazing what these surgeons and nurses do every day.
No now they take out my IV! Thank goodness because I could not stand one more moment of that thing on the side of my wrist. At this pint everything about being in the hospital was bothering me. The continuous beeping, the alarms, the pain, the backache. I felt smelly and tired for my own bed.
So they bring me egg! Whaaaaaaat? Eggs? Really? Well actually first they bring me this protein shake ... Cinnamon bun flavor! What? Ok so I shoot that down pretty quick. THEN come the eggs! I was like ...no ... All day times 100 just NO! I am an egg snob because I own my own chickens and their eggs are phenomenal! So no way in HELL I am gonna have hospital eggs! Lol! So I ask for some veggies. I am not able to drink any protein shake at all! All too sweet! So they brought me my least favorite veggie! Carrots! Lol! Oh well ... They said I had to tolerate a few bites before I could go home sooooooo down the hatch!
All was well! Yay! Then it was a whirlwind of packing up and calling DH to come and get me. He brought the kids with him. They looked panicked and strange when they arrived. They looked concerned but relieved to see their mom. It was kinda weird.
So then I got home and was SO happy even WITH the pups jumping all over me. It was good to be home.
