Went to bed at 8:30 pm; now got up at 12:30 wide awake. I'm drinking the tiniest sips of water.
My biggest problem has been nausea drinking water. I was in recovery for 5 hours. I remember them asking me if I were in pain and nauseous, and I kept saying yes to both; I was in an out all that time. My incisions don't hurt too much. When I strain a bit to lie or sit down and get up they do.
I had 2 friends with me - my roommate and a good friend. The surgeon told them he was biopsying some spots on my liver. He also told them I didn't follow the liquid diet protocol, but I did follow it to the letter. I'm not sure what that was about.
So my new journey begins. I hope I don't get the horrible gas pain.
I entered the hospital at 8:30 am on Tuesday, and left 5 pm on Wednesday.
I have a one week post op visit with a PA.
Thanks for the support, everyone.
