Day 4 post op update: just woke up from my first night of sleep home. Wnt to bed at 9, and awake at 7:30, not bad. Slept relatively well, I always have woken up several ties in the middle of the night and last night was no different. What was bothersome was waking up several times in a cold sweat, like being in menopause again, ugh. Just rearranged bedding, changed pillows and grabbed a large bath towel to cover my upper body. I will do some research to see if night sweats are a side effect of the Percoset or it's just the anaesthesia working it's way out. I did have these sweats the last few nights at the hospital.
My two darling doggies are beside themselves with joy at my return. They are Scottie dogs with tons of energy. They are quite intimidated by the walker, so I can safely walk and not be tripped. Henry, the little sweety that seems to be "my" dog would love nothing more than to get up on my lap. He's trying to figure out a way to traverse the chair and cross over the overbed table to get to me. Physically there is no way he can do it, but I can see the cogs in his mind working. August the older dog is happily enjoying the fact that his pack is back together and keeps bringing me his dog toys.
So the big plans for today consist of a sponge bath, hair wash, laying on the couch with my most awesome ice pack. My daughter is coming over today for her weekly cleaning session. My husband is pretty good with cleaning, but as Queenie says, there's a difference between man clean and woman clean. That's it for now.

Isn't it great to be home, relaxing knowing it's behind you now and all you need to do is think about the healing. I hope all continues to go well for you, I guess we did it
It was fun going through this adventure with you and getting all the pre op stuff done and ready for our "now" time.
