Day 2. Feeling muuuuuch better, no drip, no oxygen. Had a Physio in my room at Midnight on the 10th May, as I wasn't getting enough oxygen in my blood. Pressure on my diaphram made me breathe shorter, so I was out of bed on my feet, walked around the room and asked to take in deeper breaths to get oxygen back into my blood. Today I laid in bed and thought " What have I done to myself"?
Apparently a common reaction in banded patients, I could really feel everything today and wondered if I would always feel this intrusion into my body.
That was my exact thoughts too!!
ReplyDeleteI worried horribly about feeling that way, but didn't after surgery. In fact, being banded, beyond the time I was in the hospital, I pretty much can't tell i have a band, except that i get full much easier. And i can't eat fries and some breads. You've taken a super exciting step. Congratulations! (BTW, super cute nightie! I'm used to only seeing hospital gowns in these pics!)
ReplyDeleteYep, remembered to pack a nightie, which is unlike me, I usually forget when going away etc.
ReplyDeleteThe feelings of intrusion are definitely going away, except when I bend over...LOL. But I am so glad to feel this euphoria of change.
