In Mexico...Viva La Sleeva!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! I'm here at the hotel Lucerna on my third night out post op, recovering slowly but surely.

First night was fan-taaastic! I had a spinal blocker and could have done all but danced on the nurses's station I felt so great.

Then there was day two.....Not so good. Lots of gas pain, lots of discomfort. The doctor and another patient warned me about this, however I felt for sure I'd fart it up and feel just fiiiine. This was not to come to pass. It took me about 36hrs out from surgery before I was able to fart. Since then I've felt much better.

Unlike some people I have had the urge to eat, but it's all head hunger. The idea of swallowing causes me to flinch in pain. I'll stick to my broth, thankyouverymuch.

Hotel Lucerna is really great, they're used to having the patients here, and are very helpful and nice. In fact, everyone has been helpful and nice. There are some nurses at the hospital that don't speak english, but with some hand gestures and very minimal spanish skills will try to help you to the best that they can understand your needs.

I'll keep you posted!
