Saturday, May 25 - It's Saturday morning and post-op hasn't been too bad. The pain has been tolerable and I have been able to keep the pain meds down as long as I have something in my stomach.
I have been walking around the yard a few times a day to give my back some rest. That has been one of the most difficult parts of recovery as I can't get comfortable enough to sleep on my side. I can tolerate bed for a couple of hours, then find myself back to the recliner.
Dane has been tending to my drains 3 times a day. The output has been dark, but today it has started lightening up, which is what we were told to expect. The drains will be pulled when the output is less than a total of 30 cc a day for each drain. Right now each one is around 100 cc a day.
I was able to shower Friday afternoon, which always makes one feel better. Ahhhh! So, I'm taking one day at a time and expect to be back to normal in the not to distant future.
