Day after surgery
Turns out morphine makes me sick. We figured out in the middle of the night that it was the morphine making me puke versus the anesthesia so now I am off the morphine and am just on vicadin for pain. As long as I stay on the pain meds, I don't feel very much pain. I am not walking anymore right now, am on bed rest again due to the fact that my red cell counts are down to 24 which means that I am extremely anemic. I have lost a lot of blood out of my drain, so now I am having a transfusion to rectify that. I have learned how to pee in a bed pan ... well mostly in the pan. Hope to be up walking soon after receiving 2 bags of blood. Keep the well wishes coming.
