Post surgery four days

Its all over aside from  the healing. After five hours of surgery on thursday & the next 40 or so hours vomiting every time I moved a muscle or had blood pressure checked  I am sure I am now on the mend. Sorry no happy snaps yet.....still bound up. They have removed one drain because it didn't  seem to be picking anything up,  but when it was removed the nurse had to soak up quite a bit of very light coloured fluid that was eager to come òut. The other three are still in place & as most would know, quite uncomfortable !!!  Still on i v antibiotics & anti nausea but I am tolerating that ok. Needed a new canula yesterday & managed to stop the little hot shot dr in his tracks.....he bounced in saying ok lets get this done !!!!! Over an hour later with my arm looking like a pin cushion he left ......not quite so bouncy, but he eventually got the canula in !!! Whilst its painful when its happening it is funny sometimes to see the change in  their demeanor when they fail the first few times......reminds them  they ARE just like us after all !!  Hopefully all will keep heading in the right direction. Thanks for the well wishes you facilitators ladies ......only checked messages  today.
