I’ve taken 5 walks around the floor now and I’ve gotten permission to discharge early. I finally am able to restart my estrogen now that I’m moving so hopefully these hot flashes will stop soon.
I can’t wait to be back at our Airbnb in a comfortable bed where I can sleep uninterrupted and stream shows more easily.
The nurses have all been wonderful here and most of them have been here 20 years which is a good sign. Pain is mostly managed but rarely drops below a 4. I’m pretty out of it today compared to the first day so I’m mostly zoning out.
Getting up after surgery major surgery of any kind is important for the healing process. I have done both just laying in bed, and getting active and walking as soon as I was able. I think it really helps recovery.
