I am back.. Had a couple of really bad days. Monday I literally slept all day and night. I had gotten up early and had several cups of coffee. But by the time my daughter went to work at 1130am I felt like I was drained and extremely tired. I went upstairs and put on my mask and went to sleep. My baby Coco came and woke me for dinner. it took me several minutes to get going.so by the time got downstairs they had eaten, I got a glass of sprite and cranberry juice, my grand daughters did it for me. I had just a little bit of noodles and sauce, drank my juice and went back up stairs. Was going to watch my political channel. I got so tired I put my mask back on and went to sleep. I got up around 330am and went downstairs to get something to drink. Sat in the dark living room. It really was beautiful, sat there for about an hour, went back up stairs and tried to go back to sleep. I finally got up around 6am sat downstairs and listened to the birds again, you could differentiate between the grown ups and the peeps , boy were they noisy, my daughter was on the computer, Andi the 17 yr old was getting ready for school, Toni the 11 yr old was eating breakfast, Coco the 8 yr old was not up yet. I was in so much pain. I did not say anything.Coco came downstairs and was complaining about a sore throat, Mom called and made an appointment to take her in. I got some coffee and sat back on the couch and watched some of my MJ changed it so she could watch Disney, Andi left at 7 some-thin and Toni left at 7 thirty some-thin, she took off like a bat in hell, Mom left with Coco around 8 some-thin. I took my morning meds and then laid down on the couch. I knew if I went up stairs I would go back to sleep and I did not want that. I was in pain, drained, sleepy just not right. When mom came home with Coco she wanted to know what was wrong, I told her. She did not like that I did not tell her about the pain, she called Dr Fredricks and got an appointment, I went up stairs to get dressed. We went to the doctors and i was in so much pain, and could barely walk. Dr Fredricks sent me to the emergency room and they didn't make me wait too long. But they knew I was in pain, I was in a hallway bed because all the other rooms were taken. I was in that hallway for a little while, I had to use the potty and they wheeled me bed and all to the bathroom, so i would not have to walk. When they put me back, the room right next to us cleared and that is where I went. someone came and took blood, another nurse came and started an IV line. The doctor came in to see me and she asked the usual questions, where is the pain what type of pain how long have you had it. On a scale of 1 - 10 1 being no pain and 10 being the worst, where was mine I said 9.5 and the nurse said she thought it was at least an 11. because i could mot move without hurting .So the doctor ordered a mg of dilated which is very strong Iv. I was laying on my left side covered with several blankets when the med hit me. Om goodness I do not want to have the sensation again. I can't even describe the sensation, it was nauseating, and they gave me something first for the nausea. But I did not have any pain. wondaba they took me for an ultra sound. Yuck, they poked and scanned and hold my breathe and breathe. Nothing was found. gees I so not understand, what is causing my pain. The doctor said it could be muscle and some of my fat, fat hurts, wait. She gave me some pain pills to take home, and if the pain does not get better come back. I went home and went back to bed. and slept. I woke on Wednesday and I felt so much better, but I was not going on a marathon. I was taking it easy. I did not go on my computer, watched some of my programs, but not worried about my blog. It wasn't going anywhere. and I could start it back on the day I return to it. I only apologize to myself.I went back to Dr Fredricks Friday, the nurses were shocked at how much I was improved from Tuesday, I was walking, and I didn't look like death warmed over. He basically said tat the report from the hospital said it was pain from the surgery my muscle the invasiveness of the surgery, the air that was put into my abdomen so he could visualize inside. all took a toll on my body.....It is Saturday and I am watching the race. I will be back doing my blogs on Monday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
