Days Two And Three Post-Op

Well, yesterday (day two) sucked. I had felt like ass all day long. I will start with the fact that I have been a little hungry today and the clear liquids were not cutting it. Andy said my swelling must have gone way down. I don't know but last night when Holly and James left, Andy fixed me some mashed potatoes. I knew it was the wrong idea with the second bite. So, after those had cleared he fixed me some tuna fish, I was able to eat 2 bites of it and then I was full. I got nauseated immediately after eating any of that, so I took some lortab and went to lie down. I am still unable to sleep in my bed at this point. Well, I lay down and here comes the migraine almost immediately. I don't know if it is from the lortab, or the way my neck is on the couch. So, I had Savannah get me a cold rag and I suffered until 1:00 this morning when I had to have some intervention. Andy could not find my imitrex (migraine medication) so he gave me another phenergan. At 7:15 when he was getting up, I went in and tried to lay down in my bed again. HALLELUJAH it worked. So I slept there, headache free, until 10:27 this morning. When I got up this morning I was hurting much less, almost none at all. I took a shower and started to try and join the land of the living again. I ate a caramel sugar free pudding, but I had taken some MOM yesterday and the pudding ran right through me. I am now deciding to go back to clear liquids for today and possible fulls again tomorrow. Until next time...I am going to be starving by next week....
