So for the people who are curious I'll give you a run down of surgery day and what happened while in the hospital. Once we got checked in I was taken back to a prep room where I got an IV and met all of the doctors and nurses that would be with me in the OR. I didn't know I was dehydrated until it took 2 nurses and 4 sticks to get an IV through. After that ordeal was solved they gave me a couple of liters of saline to get some fluids in my body before surgery. The scariest part was definitely being pushed into the OR and being strapped down to the table. After that I was put to sleep and the surgery began. The next thing I remember is having to lift my back up to get an x-ray of my stomach which was painful. I knew there was a chance I would get sick from the anesthesia because when I had my wisdom teeth removed I got sick. The nurse told me they had given me 3 different medicines for nausea but I guess that wasn't enough. :/ After they got that under control I was taken to a short stay recovery room where Travis and my dad met me. It was so good to see them but I was in a lot of pain at that point so the nurse gave me some medicine and all I wanted to do was sleep. After a while I was ready to go home! I was pretty sore last night but after resting and taking some medicine I was able to get some relief.
So far today has been easier. I haven't needed as much medicine and I have been moving around a lot more. After today I should be able to add some liquids other than water, ice chips, and protein shakes to my diet. Well, that's all for now. I will update again in a few days! Thanks again for following my journey! :D
