I am hoping they don't send me home today. I do want to go home, but I just don't feel ready. I feel so vulnerable still...like something could go wrong at any minute and I don't want to be too far from Dr. G and Dr. M if something takes a turn for the worse.
Let's see, what other exciting things are happening in room 855:
- I ate some mashed potatoes for dinner.
- My blood pressure is dangerously low.
- I got a new roommate and I wish the old one was still here. All this woman has done for the past 18 hours is complain. And she knows it too. At one point I heard her whisper to whoever was visiting her, "I feel sorry for the lady next to me, she probably thinks I'm a whiny b***h." Well...I wouldn't have chosen those words but...
- I have a snazzy new back brace. It's going to be my friend for the next 6 weeks.
- I got brave and looked at the incision site. Yikes. It's just below my belly button and to the left. About 3 or 4 inches in length. And completely black and blue.
- I spend all the moments that I am not asleep (which isn't many) playing Words with Friends. So thank you to all my Words with Friends friends for keeping me entertained. You're the best!
Tootles!
