The Return

I'm back...well, except for a few organs and other things, but I'm back!!!! Seriously, this time last week, I thought I was going to die. I hate the hospital. I have a new found respect for nurses and for people who are very ill. I would never wish this experience on anyone! My tummy looks like Freddy Krueger had his way with me...and I am moving rather slowly...but I'm finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

Last Wednesday, after surgery, I was in so much pain...I had an epideral and was on a Dilaudid pump...but there at the beginning it wasn't doing much. I also have had to fight a lot of nausea. Tips from friends have had me conclude that ginger pops from Babys R Us are a must. After not walking for like 5 days straight...my first experience using a bedpan...and having a catheter for like 4 days was definitely enough to keep me wishing for death...but with a lot of praying...the help of my wonderful husband and my mother...and the well-wishes and prayers of friends and family, I'm definitely in a better place. Thank GOD!

So, I'm back in the bloggy world. I've missed you all!
XOXO,
Meg
