Today, I passed gas

I had to stay an extra night in the hospital due to some minor complications. First was that my IV infiltrated twice. Normally the IV isn't discontinued until the third day. Mine blew on the start of day 2 of my hospital stay. They tried several times in several places for another IV but no success. I have pretty big bruises all over now.

Because I haven't had an IV they wanted to monitor my intake more.

Another reason I'm staying is that I have a tiny clot behind my right knee. It's not completely blocking my vein but its enough that they continued my lovenox, put me on baby aspirin and are making me wear TED hose. They make for sexy legs Lmao.

The third reason I had to stay is my heart rate. When I walk around it jumps to the 140s. When I'm resting it has been in the low 100s. I haven't had any symptoms but Dr. P does want to make sure its nothing. She said that all of these things together just made her more comfortable if I stayed one more night. I'm okay with that. I chose Dr. P because she is so conservative. :)

Today was also the first time I passed gas since just before surgery. This is pretty exciting. I was bloated and pretty uncomfortable before I started "blowing ass" as my sister, P, calls it. Haha! I'm SO SO SO glad P has been at the hospital with me. It has been a crazy long week. I started out with so much gas pain that I felt like I was having a heart attack. The nurses said they have never seen anyone react that way, but between that and the nausea from the morphine, I was in bad shape. Now I'm the farting queen, and yes, I'm singing that song right now. It's that exciting lol
