One step forward--a few steps back
Oct 21, 2009
I wont say I am discouraged just confused, perplexed and a tad concerned. This morning I arose like any post op day feeling a tad queasy. Went to take my shower and remove my suture strips as instructed by Doc. When I became overwhelmingly nauseous and dizzy. Bent over thinking they say this helps please let it help. The shower walls began to appear like a tilt-a-whirl. I remember thinking I have to get this shampoo out of my hair, and the next thing I knew I was sitting in the tub with my head against the wall. Yes, I have officially experience passing out! I even have a cut down my back from I assume the faucet as my "proof" (might post a pic as memory)
So, like a good little patient I called the office, only to be told you are doing what you are suppose to be. No you aren't getting 64 oz in but it is hard at this stage. Rest for the day and call your primary Doc. Oh, and yes sip sip sip away at the water. The nurse even made me list what I ate yesterday, she said I am doing good since I am unable to drink more then 4 oz of the protein drinks.
I just feel like one day I a, "normal" the next I am passing out in the shower. What is the deal? I look around my house and see 100 things that need done, but then have a day where holding my head up takes effort. I have been light headed and dizzy all day long. The added fun of today is while dealing with all this I am trying to care for my two year old.
I look forward to see what tomorrow will bring!
