day one right after surgery

May 24, 2013

In the clinic have a wretched catheter in and an IV had dry heaving this evening but in no pain, they gave me an injection of pain medication, I believe it was morphine. I didn't sleep but maybe an hour all night and felt very groggy. There was plenty of channels to keep me entertained that spoke English, Patti was my nurse this first night and was very quick to take care of me if I needed anything, she checked up on me often. I wasn't allowed anything to eat or drink but was given IV fluids to keep me hydrated i refused all pain meds after this and just had some anti-nausea medication which worked very well. I wasn't in any pain at this time so i didn't see any point to take medication for pain. They also gave me IV antibiotics to prevent infection.
