Saturday, day 3, post op, and the pain is excruciating. Now that all the morphine has worn off, I'm feeling like hell on earth.
I've changed my dressings today and managed to have a shower, which has perked me up considerably, but the pain is consuming.
They don't tell you just how painful it's going to be afterwards, that you won't be able to lay down for a week, that you have to give yourself anticoagulant injections into the stomach every day for ten days, that your legs will feel like lead weights!!
They discharge you far too soon too. I was in hospital for a little over 24 hours!!
Anyways, in the words of Jane Fonda "no pain, no gain". |
