Been a long few days pain has been bearable but the motion sickness ughhh!
First night after surgery zero sleep awake every 1-3 minutes moved off icu the next day and i felt like i was palying a virtual video game when closing eyes!
The lasix keeps you going to the bathroom all night and day every 30-60 mnutes
I was afraid they was releasing me too early yeaterday because i was so sick feeling went to hotel again up every 30-60 minutes
I did not take my lasix today and its been such a relief as the day has gone on my motion sickness is better im on tylenol every 6 hours
The hospital staff was amazing
First few days its hard to catch breath because of chest tubes made a huge differwnce once thise came out!
Dr Dearani assured me i made the right choice:)
Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers
