6th Day Post Op

Yes, I am still alive! Thanks for all the posts and support. I have been recuperating. I had a close call yesterday. I had a pre scheduled Dr appt to my own internist, yesterday. Shortly after arriving in the exam room, my blood pressure was checked and it was very elevated. Plus, already feeling short of breath. Once my Dr got in there and he didn't want to chance anything and ordered me to get CT Scan of my chest, based on everything I told him. He wanted to make sure there wasn't any blood clots. So I left his office, and went to hospital nearby for CT scan. Which I had to wait for over 2 hrs, but finally got in. It wasn't the most comfy experience, already being in pain. But thankfully, they didnt find any clots and I was able to go. Plus my ride showed up at the same time. I am so grateful.

Today, I felt so much better. I stopped the pain meds and I feel so much better. I rested most of the day. I took a shower and even felt good enough to get ready to go out. I took plenty of time and felt ok to drive to get a refill of one of my scripts and went to the store. I made it back and resumed resting. I wanted to update my blog.

Before going, I want to thank Claire. Who drove me to surgery, took care of me afterwards. I appreciate everything you did for me. You were a godsend!

Hi Sweetie,

So glad you're out of the woods. I was worried you may have gotten an infection. Sounds like you're through the worst of it.

Can't wait to see your bouncing baby girls.

What a scarey experience. I am so glad it turned out to be no clots or infection. It sounds as if you are really on the mend
