HOME!!!

I am finally home!!!!I was discharged from the hospital at about 6 pm. I was so happy!!! There were some complications from surgery ( some body parts had fused themselves to others and had to be separated) and a reaction to anesthesia that had to be dealt with. Some body parts strongly objected to this and caused severe vomiting and pain. I was released on Sun and had to be readmitted. I now have 5 iv start sites and 3 blood draw sites and more xrays of me then I know what to do with. I have a condition where the bowels and bladder do not wake up and work properly after anesthesia. It happens in about 3% of all surgeries. So its a matter of time and more meds. Also had fall out from everything that was manipulated in surgery and things that were removed. And lets not forget that it was a vaginal surgery and I wound up being cut from hip bone to hip bone. So that plays into all of this. I did however get to keep my ovaries even though it is NOT where they belong. Anyways... That is the short version. I am very tired and off to bed. I am not tired enough to be asleep but to tired to move... I have been off all pain meds for 24 hours though and am very proud of myself for how I am doing in that sense. I guess that is what is frustrating me the most is the long recovery time. I was hoping for the 4 to 6 weeks and got told today I am on the at least 8 week plan
