Laparoscopic incisions

This is what my tummy looks look now. 5 incisions including the drain tube. It's not too bad. What really  sucks is all the shots they are giving me. I asked if they could put them in the IV and was told no, they had to be given right into flesh. GRRRRREEAAAATT.  So I've had 3 shots of blood thinners put right into my stomach, 2 nausea injections into my hip. And something else they gave me but I was so groggy I can't recall what it was. On top of it all I got a massive migraine. So I had a shot of Imitrex. 

After that shot, I didn't care anymore. I just wanted the room dark and to close my eyes and make the headache pain all go away. 

For breakfast, lunch and dinner I get wee bitty cups of red and orange gelatin and chicken broth along with a packet of crystal lite to add to my water.  I like jello. Thought I could handle eating the jello. One small bite and it was not jello. It's some off brand, skunky water, moldy tasting "jello wanna be"  UGH! I threw every single meal away after that. It was seriously gross and I'd rather not even try to swallow or taste it again. 

I'm not in any pain. Just a bit of an ache. My drainage collection bottle keeps filling up and they measure it, it's supposed to take the extra fluid out of the area where my stomach was removed and the doctor can easily see if I have any internal bleeding by checking the volume and color of the liquid that flows into the little grenade looking bottle on the end of the tube. I did have quite a few clots gather in the bottle but I've noticed the fluid isn't so bloody anymore. (TMI yes, I know, but what's the point in documenting all of this if it's not honest?) 

I am able to sleep on my sides, that's great because I'm a side sleeper and still have no pain. Any little twinges of pain has been rectified by simply taking a 500mg Tylenol Tablet. At fist I was hesitant to take the tablet. I kept hearing how it would get "stuck" and I'd be uncomfortable. But I did not experience that and it was just enough pain reliever to help with my back. 

Yes, my back. I have Degenerative Disc Disease in my spine and this is the kicker; my regular back pain hurts WORSE than my surgery! I'm kinda happy about that since I know how to deal with the back pain. 

That's all for now, I'm getting sleepy again so I'm gonna take a nap.
