1st night home.....

Last night was a pretty good night! I finally got to eat some rice cakes around 9pm which didn't make me sick at all so today I'm going to try some waffles for breakfast to see how that goes. I have been dozing in and out because of the pain meds. Sleeping in the recliner isn't the most comfortable but it works...Pain pump is still in and working well...boy am I going to miss that thing when its gone! The only thing that really hurts is when i have to get up or down but even that isn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. I know i may be fine now but after the pain pump is worn off it might be a totally different story lol. It takes me about 15 minutes to get up and use the bathroom but my husband is great at helping me and we have got us a little routein down and it works pretty well...my only complaint is that since i am drinking soo much water i am having to  get up every 2-4 hours to pee. Walking is a litttle painful but at least i'm up moving around and not getting stiff in the chair. Chris set his alarm and gave me all my meds through out the night like my own private nurse which was great!! One thing i learned about getting up is not to have someone try to lift you up but for you to use them as a lift...in other words use your arm muscles instead of your stomach muscles because whenever you strain your stomach muscles you will scream!! Hopefully i will have as good a day as I had a night! thanks again for all the support!
Enjoying my rice cake while walking around the house lol
