Day one after surgery

 

I was able to get out of bed and walk almost to the bathroom and back to my chair with help. I have a catheter and a pump on both sides of my stomach. So walking is a two-person job, and a huge purple stripdown the center on my body. I haven’t actually looked at it yet.

I couldn’t eat breakfast had too much pain and tired. I did order lunch and will try to eat some. They tried to do operation with robot but had to switch over to full open surgery, something about my breathing will try to take better pictures later.

Also will get more information as I haven’t asked yet do to pain management being the number one on the list. It wasn’t as bad as they said I would feel but it’s still rough. I didn’t have to be in ICU at all. Jesus is awesome.

This might be a bit confusing so I apologize if it doesn’t all make sense. I am also on potassium because it dipped really low. A bruise around my left ankle from leg balloons. Looks like I had a prison anklet on. I look like a pincushion from so many veins giving out on them and I think all the machines hate me the alarms keep sounding, and just as they fix one another goes off although they have been quite the last 15 minutes. Most of all I’m just tired.

Show time

 

Waiting to be called to my room.

All ready for the Surgery Team

Written by my husband: Just a quick update...Pam was in surgery for about 3 hours and from what the doctor says it was a success. However, we will get full details and information later to say what if anything is going on next.

In the photo, the long strip is a special covering for where the cut was made. The two curly cue wires on either side are special things to help with the reduction of pain. She says she is feeling better than she thought she would and is tired and dry...thirsty and dry skin. She had Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes with gravy for dinner...she only had a couple of bites of each. Will try to keep up for those who are interested and thank you for all the prayers and best wishes.

Coffee Friday Cella Chocolate Cherry Flavored Coffee

1 Winner will receive Coffee Friday Cella Chocolate Cherry Flavored Coffee - 40 ct

See the review HERE.

What's more delicious than a juicy, ripe cherry? When it’s enrobed in a silky layer of premium chocolate. Two rivers coffee has upped the ante even further, infusing our smooth coffee with the indulgent flavors of cella’s chocolate covered cherries, to create one supremely satisfying sip.

Getting ready

 

My request for dinner last night (my last before prep day and operation day) was stuffed waffles. My husband didn’t disappoint. I have cherry pie filling in mine. Bean has milk chocolate chips, Dorothy has roast beef, baby Swiss, and Greek seasoning, Dennis is having blueberry pie filling.

Starting my prep today for my operation tomorrow. Gatorade a whole large bottle of Miralax, tons of antibiotics, and clear liquids. After the floodgates let loose I get to shower and then wipe my body with special wipes. Then I get to sleep on clean bedding. What a day and all while I’m having a bleed. Give us strength. It’s going to be a messy day.

Update: I was flying through my prep for my surgery until the second set of pills I had to take. I was doing all I could but my body just wasn't having it. I vomited everywhere which caused other things to let go. As I said it was a mess. Once I was cleaned up I took a nap till my son's family came to visit. Had to see my littles before I go in. I am now having a cup of chicken broth waiting for 8pm to come around to take the last of the pills I need to take. Hoping that they stay down. Then before bed, I get to shower, dry for an hour, then use the special wipes they sent to prep my body before trying to get sleep for the night. Oh yeah, we have to be at the hospital at 7:30 am so looks like I may be the first in. Like I said I will try to do a post before I go in. Again thank you for all of the support. Hugs.

LifeHandle Hands-Free Leash System

LifeHandle Hands-Free Leash System

See the review HERE.

By attaching the Hands-Free Comfort Leash to the LifeHandle sling, you have the most comfortable way to walk, run, hike or simply hang out with your dog. Unlike other leashes, the Hands-Free Comfort Leash distributes the dog’s pull force across your core, instead of your shoulder or hip, all while keeping both hands free.

My daughter has been wanting a Golden Retriever so she can take it running with her. We currently can't do that but maybe someday and when that happens this would be great for her to have. MarksvilleandMe would like to wish all those who enter

Good Luck!
