Taking Medication
I think the furry friends are making sure I am still breathing. No matter where I go there is always a cat right by my head.
The bottom picture is 2 of the four incisions. The bottom one is actually my belly button. I was told they weren't going to go in there. But sure enough, it's glued shut and bruised. I wonder if it's going to be permanently disfigured. I hope not. Also gives me the creeps every time I think about a robotic arm going inside of me through my belly button. It's such a sensitive area for me.
Overall the gas was the worse. When they inflate your abdomen there is nowhere for the excess air to go. It just has to reabsorb and it's a slow and painful process.
I'm not worried at this point, it hasn't even been a week yet, but it's a very weird feeling to not be sure when I have to urinate. I don't feel that sensation I just feel a pressure. I'm not peeing on myself or in the bed, I can still tell but it's not the same feeling.
The pain hasn't been nearly as bad as I've thought. I get tired very fast and very easily but, again, pretty normal from what I hear. Losing a bit of weight because my appetite is probably curbed from the meds I'm taking. That's a plus!!
