3 days post op evening

So I'm three days in now and I'm getting around better each day. The fluid in my drains has significantly reduced also. I was sleepy today, but didn't get as much deep sleep as I had been getting.

I'm still dealing with a cough and have found holding a pillow up abs pressing intoy stomach is the only real way to do it. I've also been using the blowing machine they sent me home from the hospital with which seems to help my throat tickle. And my back itches some still.

I've still not had a BM even though I've taken miralax 2x a day an stool softeners. Hoping that gets solved soon. I've been careful with what I do eat sticking mainly to protein (eggs and chicken) and fruits. It's a good time to purge some sugars out of my system too. I only eat crackers when I'm nauseated which only happened once today.

My tummy feels occasionally a little numb and tingles like its asleep it my breast feel hot, similar to when you know you needed to breast feed. The breast haven't been painful at all!!

Heading off to bed. I'd like to do a post explaining drains tomorrow since I had no clue at all what to expect with those things when I was reading up. How's everybody doing? Got any questions for me?

Hair washed! Day 3post op

Just washed my hair in the sink and that felt soooo good. It was a little awkward to bend like that but totally worth it.

3 days post op

Wow I can't tell you how nice it is to get to sleep this much.

I continue my mantra of pee, walk, water, sleep repeat, but was able to stay awake in longer amounts yesterday. I'm still sleeping in the recliner and I think it's making a big difference. Yesterday around 3 my skin started to itch like crazy. So I asked m dr and he let me add benedyl to what I'm taking. I've still itched like crazy though. My mother in law said I had some tape burns from my dressings ad that was probably contributing to the itchy feeling.

I slept well yet ran out of water in the middle of the night. Didn't think it would bother me too bad but it did. I took my last pain pills at midnight and now at 8am I'm just now feeling like I need them again. I woke up very very nauseated and was happy to have the phenergan. I had a little dry toast with it and fell back asleep so I'm just now about to take them. I'm progressing faster than I thought. If I can do some photos today I will,
