Day 55: I Probably Shouldn't, But...

This is my poor mangled belly button after my laparoscopic surgery today. I spent most of the day trying to sleep off the anesthesia. I had forgotten how much I detest that foggy feeling! And how in the world do they expect you to get yourself dressed and leave the hospital when you can hardly hold your eyes open?? Anyway, it amazes me that my doctor was able to complete a laundry list of "repairs" through that little incision. I'm a little sore and pinchy right there, and I feel a little bruised inside, but overall I feel fine.

  3. Ohhhh, btdt!!! I feel your pain! The days it takes for the gas to evacuate your body are really uncomfortable - be good to yourself and take it easy!!

  4. I just read Sheri's comment about the gas -- I had laproscopy a long time ago and I still cringed in memory of that! Hope you're feeling better soon!
