Post Op day 1

It hasnt been easy. I woke up at 2am to a Code Red in the OR. Then I got up in my char because I was too awake to sleep. When I got back to bed I was in so much pain that I thought I was having a heart attack. It was just gas, but still....it hurt that much. I have been dealing with that off and on all day.

Went for a swallow eval to see if I had leaks or anything. I dont :) So I gto drink. I have to drink out of medicine cups. The instructions are strict. No gulping. No Straws, Sip slow and sit up for 30 minutes after each drink.

My goals for today were to walk 4 times, sit 3 times and control. I have officially met them all. Go me!!! My right arm is still killing me but its okay. Just gas. My tummy feels better. I keep rotating my arm to get rid of the gas. I dont know if it is helping or not LOL

I am exhausted now. I want to lay down but I am scared to after how this morning went. I am terrified it will hurt again. Oh well, gotta try, right?
