Day 6 - 12

Apr 28, 2011

Well life started to get better after the second surgery.  Day 6 was a typical day that you go through the day after surgery.  Day 8 was the day of hell tho.  I got the dry heaves for about 20 hours.  Nothing they gave me was able to stop it.  Basically it was due to a build up of gas.  I could feel the gas moving but no matter how I shifted I could not fart!  They told me I had to get up and walk.  I was like how do I walk when I am heaving.  I had my Mother walk behind me incase if fell over due to the heaves.  Finally after a painful lap around the ward I stopped and infront of about 10 people I let on rip.  It was the best dam fart ever!  I tried to use the dry heaves to my advantage and would push out farts by the pressure of the heaves.  This was the first real day that I started to have doubts.  I was thinking "Jen what have you done to yourself".  That day was a nitemare.  Finally around 7:30pm it stopped and I just felt better.  The next day I woke up and was even able to joke for the first time! Everyday after that got a bit better and Finally on the 12th day I was sent home.
