Then it Hit me

I was trying to decide where I was going to sleep tonight. Whether it would be in the lazy-boy or if I'd try again in bed. So I tried the lazy-boy and it's alright, but I'm really anxious to sleep in my bed. Off I went to the room, and Geoff right behind me to be there if I needed his help.

With the help of the body pillow in Brodie's room, I was able to manage lying down on my left side. Well...that's when Niagara Falls started, then it hit me... I sat in my bed crying like a baby and Geoff holding me. He made sure it wasn't pain from the surgery. I told him that I was overwhelmed and emotional. I never really thought I would survive the surgery. So everything from being able to walk around, drink sips of water and also be able to say hi to my kids again and tell them 'Mom is Home' is all 'NEW'. Everything going forward now is new to me, it's all unknown. Whatelse can I do but embrace it?

I'm so happy to be here.

Home Sweet Home

The drive went well. I feel bloated and wish I could let one hell of a fart out! LOL A bit of pain but to be expected. I'm very happy to be home and thankful to our neighbours for watching our place and getting our mail while we were away. My cat Trixie wouldn't shut up, she had so many stories to tell us, not really sure what they were all about but I think it sounded pretty close to 'How dare you leave me for so long....but I'm so glad you're back!'

She hasn't left our side and keeps purring and meowing every once in while if Geoff goes to the door as if she's frightened we will leave again.

So now I continue with the healing process....Sip, sip, sip, Walk, walk, walk.

I'm pretty much burned out from the trip, so that's it for now.

Cheers.

Am I going Home?

At 9am, we are going to see Dr Fitzer to find out if I'm ok to go home. Here's the plan, since we will already be checked out of the hotel room, we will not have internet access. If you do not receive a new post to this blog by 11am, we will be heading home :-)

Geoff has been packing everything for me and will be packing up the SUV for both of us. It just feels so funny now that the surgery is over and I will be going home to start this new life of a 'healthier' me. I'm anxious but at the same time know that it will be a tough process.

I'M still sore, but remarkably it's pain that can be reduced by taking Tylenol Rapid Release. Last night was very frustrating, because I did not know how to get comfortable. Going from an adjustable hospital bed to a flat bed was very difficult. So I slept in the chair with a whole bunch of pillows. I'm looking forward to the lazy boy at home.

I'm off of this for now, need to rest...and plus my protein shake is coming up in 15 minutes. Yippeee!!!

Cheers
