After I arrived home on Saturday (the day after my surgery), I took a shower and got dressed in real clothes. Something happened - I'm not sure what - but the incision on the right side started oozing a bit of blood.
It wasn't excessive or anything, so I just put a medium sized Band-Aid pad on it and kept checking it.
There was very little blood loss and nothing "unusual" looking, so I waited to call my doctor on Tuesday morning. I got a call back later in the day from his nurse that they were calling in a prescription for antibiotics and that I'm to clean the area with hydrogen peroxide. No big deal.
I just need to toss in a few more pills a day for a while. I really don't care, if it means I won't have some sort of crazy infection.
I'll just keep on keeping on. That's my MO. I'm a trooper.
I've also weaned myself down to only 1 Oxycodone a day. I take my one very early in the AM when I get up to use the restroom, then go back to bed, so I sleep most of it off. Those things make me sleepy and itchy - especially my face.
But, I feel better and better every day. I have not had the night sweats once since the operation! I'm not sure if that's normal or not, but I sure do like it!
I have to get off here, get a shower and be ready for my daily errands. :-)
I'm just SO happy! (which just proves the uterus is an evil entity - Damn Eve for eating that apple!) LOL.
If you have any oxy's left, I'd be happy to take them off your hands. Cheers ETW!!
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to donate my uterus to someone who needs a working one since I'm done with it, but the doctors said they don't do that - YET ! Seriously I really don't need it anymore ! Glad your feeling better, keep on resting XXX
ReplyDeleteI was wondering when/if someone would offer to get some hydro from you. Leave it to Matt- Man lol. Anyways, so glad you are feeling so great. What an inspiration! After 4 kids I wanna kick my uterus to the curb too.
ReplyDeleteMy uterus is also closed 4 bizness!!! My husband keeps asking, 'what about #4?'...My reply, 'that's not funny.' Sooo done!
ReplyDeleteSave those Oxycottons for a rainy day or special occasion ;-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you got rid of that evil little critter! How dare it cause you so many problems!
So glad you are feeling well! Is it terrible that if I could talk my doc into it, I would do it! I'm done with it, just take it out.
ReplyDeleteFeel better. Take it easy when you can!
Oh I know the itchy face! Glad you are feeling better. You really are a trooper!!
ReplyDeleteGeesh, I wish mine were that simple...you're making me look like a wheenie!
ReplyDeleteGlad all is well...even though you are feeling good remember to REST!
