Day 2 of being home from the hospital. The Dr originally gave me liquid Vicodin. Unfortunately, Vicodin gives me headaches. So before I left the hospital, the gave me a script for liquid morphine. Surprisingly, it doesn't help. So, I think I'll go with the Vicodin and deal with the headaches.
The pain is moderate, but mostly when I get up from the sitting position.
The main area of pain is where they put the port.
The port is just under the skin, and allows the Dr to add or remove saline in the band.
I won't have my first "fill" until I go to see him on 6/21.
Right now I'm off clear liquids. I can have sugarfree pudding, applesauce and light yogurt. Can't wait to have pudding!
2 weeks from now I can have mushy food.... mashed taters, scrambled eggs.
While I was in the hospital, I had the Dr lance a boil I had under my arm. Now I have to have a visiting nurse come each day to change the dressing. She called and will be here at about 1.
That's it for now... the start of my new life!
