I wake up Saturday morning and I am feeling pretty good, I had slept most of the night, but had a huge headache, my head was thumping and I started feeling a little nauseated, migraine here it comes!
The nurses were immediately on my case, they took my BP and it was super hight, they gave me a medication to bring it down, and kept observing to make sure it got back to normal. I don't normally have high blood pressure so they knew it was a reaction to anesthesia....in the meantime, I am ready to get the heck out of there....I don't want to be held back because of BP...I mean I feel great! I can go, right, but oh yeah! I have a wicked headache and I can barely keep my head up....ok...so maybe I need a little time out....
Thank goodness, my BP normalized, instead of leaving the hospital at 10am, I left at 12:30....there was a little line at the border, like 20 cars, so it took about 45 minutes to get across....as soon as we were across, in traditional Carol style, I asked him to stop at the first McDonald's I was about to pee myself.....
I got to San Diego at about 2pm, and immediately took of on my 6 hour drive home....my head was still killing me....
I drank Gatorade 03 all the way home, the one that has protein in it......
When we got home around 8pm, the ole husband heated up some chicken broth and I downed 2 cups of it....I think part of my headache was hunger.....
I fell asleep at about 10pm...and woke up at about 1am with a huge headache......I broke down, took 2 Excedrin Migraine, obviously, cut up and let them dissolve in my mouth before I swallowed, magically my headache went away.....
Went back to sleep woke up at 10am, had a protein shake and have been chinking around all day....
My incisions don't hurt at all, I slept on my side no problem....I have already gone up and down the stairs a few times, and now I think it's time for a nappy poo......
Yay....I feel good, and will take a shower before I take a nap.....
I'll post pictures of hospital room and checkerboard stomach.....ha!
