My surgery and the beginning of my recovery

(If there are any spelling or grammar issues, I'm going to warn you it's because I'm on Dilaudid, a very strong pain killer, much stronger then morphine. I'm going to miss it when I get home and realize I have a ton more pain lol). I've been waking up every 2 hours or less. I haven't been woken up by my nurse at all, (which is awesome and a first) just from pain and not being able to roll over (I'm a side sleeper, which isn't going to happen for a while dang it). My surgery went very well I was told and my plastic surgeon put more saline in the expanders then he normally would because he said he was able to. (at least I'm not completely flat chested at the moment, not as much of a shock factor. I have 4 drains and he said 2 might come out this fri or following Monday but the other 2 might take 2 full weeks. Bummer, they are a pain but they gave me a great spaghetti strap shirt with pockets for the drains to keep them out of my way, very nice. I get to leave tomorrow sometime, possibly morning ish. They said the less time in the Hosp the better chance I have for not getting an infection and I'm all up for that. I've had lots of problems with nausea and vomiting though. They ended up putting me on 2 different types of anti nausea meds (Benadryl being one of them actually, who knew!) and them together seem to be helping. I'm also very itchy from the narcotics so the Benadryl is helping with that as well. AJ stayed with me last night until I fell asleep. He is such a god send, he's so helpful and caring. My dad came to the hospital as well and relieved AJ so he take a couple go get lunch. He didn't get dinner because he didn't want to leave me alone so I shared my food with him (which tasted so great because I had been fasting, although it came back up like a minute later lol). My dad was tearing up when he first saw me. I think it brought back memories of my mom doing this, and I'm his baby and what parent wants to see their baby in pain? Im so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life checking up on me non stop, it's not bothersome at all. I know how scary it is for them to see their friend go through major surgery and I don't mind any of the texts, emails, fb posts etc. I will write back every one back at the times that I'm not falling asleep from the pain meds. (I fell asleep midway through eating my graham cracker. AJ laughed and woke me up. ) I'll be blogging as much as I can now to keep everyone informed on my journey. Well my pain meds are kicking in an I've fallen asleep twice writing this so i better stop before I decide I need to spill dirty family secrets!! Haha jk Ash and Erica. (who by the way are amazing cousins, the sisters I never had :) I'll post on Facebook when I write a new blog so you know when to check it out. Now goodnight world!
