Night 2 post op and morning 3 of post op

Well last night was going good because I downed my dose of pain meds and didn't hurt too much. I got some good sleep even tho the kids were here and were fighting and what not. I could tell Chris was getting aggravated with them because there was one time he said "I'm gonna Fing loose it in a minute!!" and Chris isn't the one to cuss lol. I felt bad because i couldn't do anything but tell them to stop and that doesn't really work if i cant get to their level but anyway once they went to bed he calmed down....Thank God! Well everything was going good until I got up at like 430am to use the bathroom and i noticed that my drain had started draining dark red blood and it filled up the entire tube and just kept going. My initial thought was that I was going to bleed out and die but I asked God to watch over me and help Chris to be calm about the whole thing because he tends to freak out about stuff like that. Well after I used the bathroom i stood there for a while and just waited to see if it would stop but it didn't so I walked out and told Chris to turn on the light because I had to see how bad i was bleeding...i have never seen him jump off a couch that fast after being asleep lol anyway my drain had been draining light red and only been about 7.5ml every 4 hours and now it was dark red and 40ml in 45 mins....BIG change! Talked to the dr and he said that was normal and that it was old blood so i went back to sleep and it seemed to resolve itself while i was asleep. This am i am feeling pretty good and I'm getting around pretty good. My pain pump finally became empty so I had the joy of pulling that out this am which didn't hurt too bad but it just felt funny and made me feel light headed. It felt like i was pulling it across the inside of my stomach if that makes senses. I'm not in much pain from not having the pump in but i'm sure that will get worse through out the day. I was going to down my dose again today of pain meds but i think i'll stick with the same amount until i see how i'm gonna do without the pain pump.
This is my pain pump friend that helped me out the first 3 days
