Thank you all for your kind words and support. It is so reassuring to know there’s people going through the exact same thing.
Seems 2-3 am is currently one of the times I just am awake, but BS sure helps pass the time. [emoji16]
Surgery day (Wednesday) was ok, and when I got to my room, my partner and sister were there for me.
By Thursday morning the nerve block in my leg and the spinal had worn off, but the pain relief I was given wasn’t helping. Getting post-op X-rays was no fun at all. This was the day I seriously questioned why I did this; lots of pain, very dizzy, nauseous, fatigued...
But yesterday (Friday) things slowly improved, as the pain meds seems to be starting to do their job. Pain levels are now a 2-3, which I can handle. Unfortunately blood pressure still all over the place, so I fainted on my first attempt at standing up. Tried again in the afternoon and did much better. Still not walking, though. [emoji222]
My dear sister (a nurse herself) spent her Friday evening with me, gave me a sponge bath, changed my sheets and had dinner with me.
Some colleagues from work will be coming to visit Saturday (plus SO and my sister) so already have something to look forward to. [emoji16] Company is nice, as I just can’t concentrate on reading or tv.
Time for a snooze [emoji42]
