Back home

Hi all,
Firstly thanks for all the kind messages from you its lovely to know you were all thinking of me .:D

Well horrific journey there and back 12 hours there 11 hours back came home on wednesay as passed as fit to travel thank god so lovely to be home :D

Day one:-
Went into hospital friday morning 9am got into my room very nice modern clean tidy, hospital staff very hygenic all good.
Measured up and brought my sexy surgicals and a gown, told my op was 4pm, cool i thought then a nurse rushed in and said sorry you have to go now 2 mins hurry :eek: ! No time to panic !

Wheeled me in stroked my arm then speared me with a syringe as long as ya like :eek: then doof i was knocked out hurrah!

Woke up and felt groggy then realised i couldnt breathe panic set in and i ripped out my drip and other tubes they stabbed me in the leg with the big syringe again and put me on the breathey machine . wheeled back to my room and slept most of the day that night i was awoken by the surgeon who had come to explain about the complications during my surgery WTF :eek:!!!!!!!!!
To Be Continued x
 
Well seems they couldnt inflate my abdomen as much as needed as i have an abnormaly small abdomen . You are pure fat the surgeon says :sigh: i know i say why do you think i am hear ? durrrr !!!!!!!!
He said he has never seen an abdomen so tiny and he had to operate in less than a 1 inch cavity :confused: .
This is why i couldnt breathe because they kept me under a lot longer and i suffered with raised blood pressure and temperature for a couple of days even had to be swaddled in ice bags for the evening sunday :cry:.

First 2 days totally regretted having it done felt very depressed (anasthetic i am told) and wanted to be at home face down in a chinese :D

Still good to go monday afternoon after eating my white slop green slop then cream slop that i am guessing was once fish !
Got my bag of syringes/ tablets / dressings/ etc
Back to the hotel where i discovered the agony of pressure spots on me bottom :eek: OUCH !

Was a little awkward couldnt lay down because breathing wasnt strong enough . Couldn't sit down poorly botty . Couldn't stand because poorly belly hmph .

Alternating the three every 2/3 minutes did the trick :rolleyes:.
Nurse came on Tuesday passed me to come home wednesday so bought new tickets and came home yey !:D
