(On my phone... can't tag.)
How are you feeling? I had my gallbladder out a couple of days after you, and I'm miserable... I can only imagine having to take care of yourself and DH!
I'm feeling almost back to normal. I'm going back to work tomorrow on a part time schedule for the rest of this week and hopefully back to my regular schedule next week.
I'm off the Rx pain meds. My incision on my abdomen is still a little tender and I've got some pretty gruesome bruising. If I cough, the pain isn't nearly as bad as it was 2 days ago.
I'm getting my appetite back and everything has been going well except for some nausea that I had tonight.
I still have some discomfort when I sleep on my right side and I can't sleep on my left side at all yet, which is strange given that the incisions are on the right side. I also still feel like my guts roll around in my tummy when I lay down. Maybe that's just all in my head?
Our daughter is still here helping us out and thank God for her because there is no way we could have managed on our own.
My DH is getting around with just a cane now and we both have follow ups next week.
Thank you for asking about me. How are you feeling? Did they remove it with the laproscope or the old school major incision?
I hope you feel well soon. I feel 100% better today than I did on Sunday, so hopefully things will improve for you in a few days.

I'm glad to know that there's a light at the end of the tunnel! It was a lap, but apparently my gallbladder didn't want to cooperate after years of being angry... It took an extra half hour to finish.
I'm still just so sore. And so nauseated. I think tomorrow, I'm going to try Pepcid and some Motrin. At least, this is my rough plan. I'll have to text my surgeon and ask.
I'm so glad that you both are doing well... and thank God for an awesome daughter to help out!
