Gallbladder Removal
Yesterday morning I got my gallbladder taken out. They also did a cystoscope, which came back clear! So that means I don't have Interstitial cystitis! They got my IV in with only one poke! Plus, they were able to remove my gallbladder through my belly button. I have 4 incisions on my tummy. I had some good nurses at the hospital and was surprised at all the gluten free options they had there! With it being a small hospital, I thought my options would be very limited. After I got out of surgery they had some problem getting my pain under control. I wish there was a way to put in my file that I am very drug resistant. The nurse wasn't comfortable with giving me a lot of pain meds. From then on out, the pain would come in and out. As it got closer to leaving, they started giving me less strong painkillers, which really didn't help much. Both my mom and I had a hard time sleeping. In the morning, they were kind of in a rush to get us out. Which was not fun because I was still very nauseous and in a lot of pain. Plus I didn't understand why they were in a hurry since it wasn't like they needed my room for someone else! Now that I am home, I'm having a hard time with getting the pain and nausea under control. So please, please be praying for pain management. My incision sites are very sensitive so I can't really move without causing extra pain. Hopefully I will be able to get some deep, healing sleep tonight!
