Get Well soon Dear K. @kmakm

my kids bring me licorice to get my b/p up as I always have low b/p . Let go of the expectations and realise this is a new journey and you will track your own path we are all individuals our bodies all response differently etc. 

hugs beautiful you are going to get up when your body is ready for it.

@Sister BP has inched up to 105/66. I am determined to get out of bed today!

Hope you're starting to come good.  Watch the Endone as it can make you feel quite ill (I had Tramadol) - not sure why they can't just give codeine.  The drains coming out are bloody painful, aren't they?  But better gone.  Take it as easy as you can and use the bell as much as you need to.  

Thanks @SoldierCrab. It's not going well so far. Three attempts at getting up have ended in failure, I get terribly dizzy and feel like vomiting. My haemoglobin is 94 (normal is 115 - 160). There are crackles on my lungs. Not sure what happens next. I'm supposed to be up walking around. My last bp was 99/62. My surgery went well but my recovery has stuttered.

Hello Kmakm,  

sending you energy and normal blood pressures so that you can achieve some of your goals. 
It would be nice if everything was simple for us ladies but it rarely is.... 
Take time to allow your body to heal and Breathe.... 

virtual hugs and holding your hand still.... Swearing is allowed at any stage right now if you need to use it to get you through this part of the roller coaster ride.... 

hugs

During radiotherapy the staff would put up word puzzles about popular sayings to provide something else to think about and thought you might like one @kmakm - I have more. Just to get you started 9.Three blind mice ( as no ‘i’s)

Thinking of you too -wishing you a smooth recovery and wonderful care to speed you on your way x

Hope you can rest well tonight xx

Hey @kmakm - around 3pm is shift changeover so that might explain the absence of a nurse.....

@kmakm. U poor thing - glad the endone is starting to kick in. So sorry that u feel so bad and lonely. Have u seen your hubby at all today?  I get u with the drain thing - I only had 1 in that I bought home with me and getting that out was such a killer. It must be frustrating that u want to get up but can’t, I know u would be telling anyone in the same situation to just rest and let yourself recover. It was a huge surgery your body has been through. We r the worst at taking our own advice. Don’t feel lonely - we are all here for u and sending multitudes of virtual hugs.  @Finch and I have another week of grace before our 3rd dose. Thinking of u and wish there was something I could do to make your feel better and take your pain away. xoxooxox
