My first night after surgery...

My first night after surgery was so uncomfortable, but at least I wasn't as dizzy as earlier that day.

I slept restlessly and the only thing that gave me comfort was knowing that Ken was in the room watching over me.

I was told by my family that I tried to get out of my bed and unhook myself for the next days. I believe it is sometimes referred to as ICU shock. Sometimes patients are so OUT OF IT that they try to do some of the things that I was doing.

IT is a good thing I was so drugged and don't remember much from those days. The doc originally told me my recovery would be 4 nights in the hospital--mine was 9 nights and then 8 nights in rehab. I will tell you about that later.
