Two days post-op
I'm doing better each day. I'm pretty sore in places. They had a hard time finding an IV site and the site they ended up with (inside my left wrist) is bothering my whole arm and my tummy is still swollen and tender but other than that, I' m feeling pretty good. I plan to get the laundry done today, take a nap then a shower. My husband will take me to my office to pick up work from the last few days so I can try to stay caught up. I found out that I can sleep in my bed and I can sleep on both sides (I'm a side sleeper). SLEEP - the great healer. My sinuses started up when I got home but have used some nasal spray for relief. Otherwise, I walked and walked at the hospital while I had the chance for open spaces so I'm probably not a stiff as my littermates who were having problems moving. I'm mixing my citrucel with orange yogurt - not too bad but I can't seem to get a full dose down at one time. I'll try again later then maybe some chicken broth. I found that sucking on the saltines is much better than chewing them. I suck a piece of the saltine then take a couple sips of Gatorade Rain. Some of the Gatorades are too strong tasting for me but Rain is pretty mild.
