I'll keep y'all posted if she's too tired.
Thank you very much. So he's gone to get that. 
RedHairedandFriendly said:A quick note to everyone who posted.
The surgery went well and it was done laproscopic. The first day and the second I was on an Ice Chip only diet. I had to get up and walk every couple of hours and I still can't master how to get up or sit down without hurting myself.
The third day I was put on a grape juice diet and again. . .walking. I NEVER want to drink grape juice again!!!
My pain medication kept knocking me out so terribly or good, depending how you look at it, that they put me on Children's Motrin and Tylenol, because I was sleeping so deep that along with the sleep apnea I have my oxygen level was dropping to 70% instead of the 95 and up they wanted it.
The IV's collapsed several of my veins and a pic line was ordered, this is where the IV catheder can stay in the vein for weeks or several months. Mine was in for a 12 hours or so, before I was told I was going home.
I had 1 oz. of oatmeal, and 1 oz of orange jello for breakfast and for lunch I had 1 oz. of mashed potatoes and 1 oz of Cottage Cheese.
We got home around 4:30 and hubby left to grab the kids and fill perscriptions, but forgot my pain killer. ..grrrr...
Thanks again everyone.

Keep a pillow handy when you try to get up and when you need to caugh or sneeze and hold it tight against your tummy!!!
Each day is a new beginning and you will feel better in no time at all...
I am using my pillow as often as I need to. It helps some.
trent0553 said:Howdy Red
Glad to see you home and recovering.
au_man's suggestion about the pillow is a good one. They do that for many surgical patients. A whistle or bell is also useful for alerting family members that you need assistance.
Take care of your self and follow the doctores orders. You are headed into a new life and lifestyle. Healing and comforting wishes continue.
I am following doctors orders and will soon be heading back to bed to rest in a few. 
Hope your weekend is going well.

{{{{hugs}}}} I appreciate all the thoughts. I needed them. I got on the surgery table and thought. . .Okay, nevermind, changed my mind. Don't need to be here, forget it. . .

I'm okay, just tired and worn out. Thanks for the hugs and thoughts. 
zukethecuke said:I haven't been on Lit as much as I'd like the past few weeks and so managed to miss this thread entirely.
Congratulations, Red! I have no doubt you're doing the right thing.
I have to keep telling myself that when I get up and my left side hurts and I struggle like I'm 99 years old walking down the hallway. I appreciate your support.

I get wore out so easily right now. Seems I come online for a bit and then disappear.
Natural sugars, like applesauce unsweetened and a pure fruit popsicle with no sugar added. . .I can't even taste the natural sugar. It is gone. I taste the sourness of the fruit. Odd.
Thanks.bluefoxlady said:(((((((((((((((((((Red)))))))))))))))))))))
