They consider the first day after surgery Day 1. I felt pretty good, the bandage was from my thigh all the way up to my chest and it was SO itchy. OH before I forget, they gave me medicine because the epidural makes your face really itchy too, so they fixed that in the recovery room.
So my first night was fine, I was comfortable and mostly slept. Kevin slept pretty well also. They wake you pretty early and the Pain Management Team comes in to make sure the pain is under control. I was fine. Mom and Dad came around 10am and I was pretty awake. They have a kitchen on the floor for patients and family members who are staying with you so he made some toast and coffee, I still wasn’t very hungry. My brother came around noon and everyone went to lunch, except Kevin, they brought him a sandwich. I got 3 flower arrangements the first day which was very nice!
My parents and Kevin went to dinner across the street at Bertucci’s and Kevin came back to the hospital for the night. Today was not very eventful.
