Update #1 - 7/25/09 (4 days after surgery)
Sep 14, 2009
OK - so, it is official, I have survived the worst experience of my entire life...barely. I was released on Thursday afternoon, and was a mess until about 2:30 am Friday morning...and used 1/2 the bottle of my pain meds (thankfully my mom is an RN so it was all safe!). My mom and boyfriend (Eric) were amazing through the whole process, but I wasn't. I can't imagine ever thinking that it wouldn't be too bad, because it was terrible. BUT, today is Saturday, and I'm actually doing OK. Everything is working OK, my pain is no longer at a level 10, but is more like bad cramps, which I can live through. There for awhile, though, I really didn't know what I'd gotten myself into...and I think I scared my mom and Eric half to death. Anyway, the plan is for my yucky drainage tube to come out on Monday morning. My mom has to be back in Wichita on Monday 8am, but my dad is coming to Columbia tomorrow to take me home (Wichita) after my appointment, so they can keep taking care of me. Then my parents and I will meet Eric in KC, and he'll take me home. My parents are amazing, and I really don't know what I would have done without my mom.
