My surgery just might have been a flop
pulse went up with anesthesia and then there was a blood pressure drop.
It was important to do what they could
but not what they would.
I am glad they did what they did
it was easy to kid
about what happened, I tout
and an overnight stay, a thought that I would get out
without much ado,
but guess what I had to do
but wear a catheter home
and learn how to operate it some
the hubby was given the directions
and all the intersections
as I was not quite all there
all I could do was stare.
What, a leg bag and another for at night?
What a fright!
Clean one when you are wearing the other
with oil and vinegar
It is just until Monday, says the surgeon.
I have injections and new pills to be on
No time to relax and take it easy as
it is the end of the semester and I am teaching a class
I asked for prayers a time or two
and any who
the prayers work
very little to no pain
at this time I remain
at a 2 on a one to ten scale
I may even be able to check the mail.
Now, the CNA and hospital nurses are great
the best service as of late.
My doctor is young but knows her stuff
Making it all a bit easier and not too rough.
The surgery was to be a complete hysterectomy
but no they left the ovaries in and it was not a laparoscopy.
Stress pushed my blood sugar up, so I was given insulin
in the hospital, and when I got home, no more issues
with my blood sugar numbers. The numbers almost always go up due to various stresses.
I am hoping for no more surgery for my lifetime but I am guessing
that won't be the case as I was told that my mitral valve may need to be replaced with an open heart procedure that has me not wanting
to think of that happening in maybe another 5 years or more but they can't guarantee
anything for me.
So the very best thing to do, is live just one days a time, get back to exercise and eating right.
Then I will be a delight.
