k.....I'm home.
Definitely on meds, percoset and valium.
Pain.....the first two hours were not fun, I actually cried.....that's the first time I have after any of the surgeries! Took me a bit by surprise but I guess that's what happens when they pull muscles off your ribcage, stuff a foreign object under them and then reattach them to your ribcage.....yeah...ouch. Actually it was just a half dollar size area of pain on my left side at the breast bone that really hurt and that did subside after about two hours, or maybe the meds just kicked in enough for me not to notice. Now it is just very, very, very sore...like I pulled the muscles....which I guess I kind of did in a way, but I have never pulled those particular ones so it is a very new experience.
As for the mummy wrapping, that won't be happening! My doctors gave me very strict directions to use my arms, in fact she waved hers wildly above her head in demonstration of what I should do...I'm not there yet but I have been doing a version of Tai Chi or Falun Gong in which I slowly ...VERY slowly move my arms around in the air....its been ok, and I stop after it hurts so I am not pushing myself. Just trying to keep the muscles from spasming because frankly it hurts less when they aren't!
Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that I made it through and am home. Thank you for all your prayers, support and thoughts, they have once again cradled me in love through the procedure yesterday:)
Blog ya later-
