Day 2 recovery.

I'm feeling really good today all things considered.  Last night I was in a lot of pain.  Guess what it was?  Gas.  Can you believe it?  Because I can't push a fart out I was in pain.  So I sat on the toilet for a while farted like crazy and that eased all the abdominal pressure and I slept like a baby!  Aren't you all happy to know that?

Looks like Marc will be making a trip to the drug store today!

When you wear these drains, the goal is for the drainage to go from all bloody to a straw color - the liquid is getting noticeably pinker so I think that's a good sign.  My temperature has been around 97, so no infection. 

Going to try a sponge bath today and to sit outside for a while.  I'm still really tired and any small thing wears me out, but I would think that would be normal.

  1. I am glad that you speak about the life style change you and Marc have made these last two years because that is what I am very impressed with when it comes to your changes. Anyone can drop weight, not everyone can make their mind up to change their life!!! You did and I got to watch you slowly become the new you....

    I am proud of you and your journey. You look great even two days after the surgery. You have a lot of people here excited for you... Wishing you a safe recovery.

    Please call or email if you need anything and that goes for Marc too!!!! Poor man's stuck at home with you all day... hehehe, Tabby
