After an eventful night on our ward, I won’t go into details for the sake of privacy but will say all the staff on SSS last night were amazing and so patient. Sadly the noise added to the existing discomfort of catheters, cannulas, central lines, oxygen tubes and DVT bags that inflated on my calves every minute.
So no sleep then.
Eventually they started to disconnect various devices and I could then see why I felt so battered and bruised.
I only felt pain when I sat up. This makes going from lying to seated quite uncomfortable.
Katie took a photo when I got home, of the main wounds that are stitched internally and glued externally. Warning : a little gruesome. But I understand why I’m sore.
Considering the major surgery I’ve had this is amazing. Hopefully I’ll keep the pain managed over the coming days.
