I'm Home

[Guest guest]

Hi all. Just wanted to let you know that everything went well and that I

am home. Doc said surgery went well, (yeah, he wasn't the one getting

sliced open). Just a few problems, but otherwise not so bad. Couldn't

get the pain under control for awhile and was quite uncomfortable. They

finally decided to knock me out with a combination of high dose Torodol

and Vicodin ES, which helped me get some rest, but still wasn't cutting

the mustard. Was just so tired of complaining. Then they put a pregnant

woman who had to be monitored in my room with me, just as my doc was

coming in to check on me. I asked him why they would put a pregnant

woman in with someone who just had a hysterectomy and he was as baffled

as I was. I guess it all just caught up with me and I started to cry

when they put the fetal heart monitor on. Guess it was just knowing the

finality of it all. I got myself into such a state I was sobbing, I

couldn't stop. They found me another room and gave me a sedative. I kept

apologizing and they were apologizing back because they were so swamped

with women coming in and having babies and women who needed to be

monitored, there was no place else to put them. We had no plans on

having anymore children, but I guess making it a true " done deal " was

more than I could handle at that point. I was so exhausted from feeling

so miserable the past few months. Guess I needed to grieve a bit too.

Anyway, I'm home, where I should be. Tim just left to pick up the kids

and they will go to our neighbor's tonight for 4th of July. As for me,

I " m heading back to the couch for a nap. Was in quite a bit of pain that

they couldn't get under control again last night and they called the

resident at 9 pm, by 5 am, I was hysterical and doubhled over and they

finally gave me more morphine that knocked me on my ass until 9 this

morning. My doctor took one look at me this morning and told me I wasn't

going home. Told him what had happened and that the resident " couldn't

come down until after 6 am " and that a nurse finally decided to go over

that resident's head and get the order for the morphine. God bless that

nurse. He then decided I could go home with instructions to take 2

Vicodin ES if needed and if that is not working to call him immediately.

I have a very high tolerance for pain and this is extremely unusual for

me.

Just happy its all over and that I'm home.

Thanks for all the notes and well wishes, I really appreciated it.

Love all of you.

Hi Sassy, Wow, that's amazing. They let you walk right away? I'm so glad you came through the surgery so well. You were and are in my prayers.

The nurses were impressed by how often I was walking the halls on my own. And the key is to walk. It really helps to wear off the morphine. I have not had any pain, just soreness. So I am greatful for that. I am also greatful for all the prayers and well wishes from the group. It has really meant a lot to me, and thank you Tony for keeping everyone updated on my progress.Well i'm off for another

walk.Take care,Isis "sassy"

Hi Sherri,Once they let me up the first time, they couldn't keep me down after that. I figured that way I was sure to go home the next day.

Hi Jenn,Trust me it felt like I was wearing a think coat of morphine. I hate that feeling. As soon as I started walking it started to go away. Isis "sassy" Hadsell wrote: Congratulations! Wow!

I had to have it when I had my 1st son because of complications with him and I needed a C-Section.... I was so F-ed Up! I was Soooo Loopy! It was GREAT! hahaha I told all the nurses and doctors that they were all So Beautiful and they laughed as they cut me open! They said it was the most fun they've had while performing any surgery! hahaha Morphine, a long time ago, used to be sold in drug stores, over the counter! That's about all I know about Morphine.

Hi Damaris, In my opinion it is horrible. I know it takes the pain away but it also takes everything else away. I could not stay awake and for the brief moments I was awake it was like a thick fog in my mind. I could not focus on anything. Dr. Im said he came to see me three times and I don't remember any of his visits. My sister said I kept waking up just to say I hated morphine and then I was out again. I know I spoke to a few people, but I have no idea about what. That's why I kept getting up to walk. It really helped clear my mind.
