Tonight is the 3rd night post-op, and I'd say I'm doing pretty well. I'm not having too much pain (its more soreness when I swallow). I noticed today that I was extremly tired, something I wasn't expecting. I'm really glad I took extra time off work, though. I think I'm most bothered by the stitches in the back of my throat. Here are a couple pictures from my hospital stay....
In each room there is an information board. This board lets the staff know a little more about their patient. Mom and Tim had way too much fun filling out mine!
The Surgical unit was full, so I got to stay on PEDS! My room had Starfish painted on the wall and was complete with a fish measuring chart!Each room in Peds is decorated with a different theam.
I know I told everyone I was going home the same day, but I ended up staying overnight.
The numbing medicine wore off and I got nauseated so I decided I better stay incase I got sick during the night.
My nurses were so amazing!!! They took really great care of me.
Tim brought me this beautiful vase of flowers!Maybe I should get my tonsils out more often? Ha!ha!
He is so good to me, and he took great care of me when my nurse wasn't around,
while I was in the hospital!
I am taking it easy, resting a lot, and eating a lot of ice chips, popsicles, icecream and snowballs!
My follow up appointment is on Thursday and I don't plan on returning to work until the 29th.
I'm just going to rest up and recover!
Thanks to everyone for your prayers and kind words!
