Day 2 after surgery with Dr. Sauceda
May 24, 2013
Dry heaving again this morning, was brought some water, jello, fruit, and apple juice. They gave me some more anti-nausea medicine in my IV and I drank about half of my apple juice a few sips of water and two bites of the lime jello that tasted horrible. Dr. Sauceda came and talked to me about my surgery and said the reason for my nausea is more than likely the amount of medication it took to keep me asleep because I kept waking up, while talking to him I felt the nausea coming back and up it came, apparently he can't handle someone throwing up because he politely made a mad dash for the door as I was vomiting lol. I did manage to get a few hours of sleep after this woke up with a clearer head, slight headache and drank the rest of the apple juice and some water, I did hold the juice down, they served me tacos this evening and I managed to eat the meat out of it, some of the onions and bell pepper. It stayed down as well. While texting later this evening I accidentally pulled out my IV so it was put back into my Right hand. I noticed my catheter wasn't draining well so I had my auntie hand me the bag and pulled the bag apart so the urine could drain from the tubing into the bag. The guy who brings the food was amazing, he asks what you like and even offered to feed my auntie. The other nurses I had we're very sweet but if you need something they aren't as good at coming to see what you need, I would say something to them when I pushed the call light and they would say something back but I couldn't understand them and sometimes it would be a few house before you ever see them. I think it is more of a language barrier thing more than anything because they are very nice just hard to communicate, I did get what I needed across though it just took a little while at times before they would arrive. My biggest thing while at the clinic was how warm they kept it, I stayed stripped down pretty much the whole time, I like it cold lol. I still have no pain this evening and stay up late anyway so about 1:30am me and my auntie go to sleep and I sleep all through the night and wake up feeling much better.
