Day 3 Post Op

Not feeling creative. i haven't gotten my Oxy since 3am!

Day 3 post op feels like day 6! Feeling good, minor headache at the moment unless I move my head, then the pain radiates down through my back, on bed rest still, nose stuffed up, lumbar drain is working it's trick I think but I'm still leaking fluid if I lay flat, sit up, or lean over. I miss my CPAP! Slept with my mouth open, so now I have a sore throat. Back and neck hurt from laying in bed for 4 days straight.

There's a sneeze sitting and teasing me, and I keep coughing. Coughing HURTS!!

Hands are changing, tongue has shrank drastically, haven't really looked at my feet, but think my ear lobes shrank too! still working on before and after pictures!

Today's is another new day with new me, changes, and discoveries. Hoping that the CSF leak stops soon....

  3. AMAZING how quickly things are changing and reverting! The body is so fantastic. Do they not have a CPAP or are you just not allowed? In any event Bella...there's a lot of thinking about you in this neck of the woods. Be a good girl and follow Dr's. orders. <3
