The anesthesia alone takes time to filter out of your system. You'll get there!
Not to totally hijack your thread, yet mentioning the hernia reminded me of my husband's surgery. He had a prostate so huge that they had to do an open procedure and also fixed a hernia. This was a week before we were scheduled to travel to Chicago from Nashville. He said it would be no problem and we'd have great trip. I just smiled and said, "Yes, dear." I guess we all think we're tougher on t he pre-op side of a surgery.Thanks to all for your words of encouragement. It makes me feel a lot better. I was thinking something was wrong with me, but 2 more days have passed, and I do feel better. I must have been too drugged up to remember, but hubby said the doctor repaired a hernia, so I got a small hematoma between my ribs and skin. So that swollen ball that feels like a porcupine inside must be it. I can't take deep breaths yet...guess with time. I am still on clears as I can't seem to get anything else thicker in because the pressure pushes on the porcupine. I added protien powder to chicken broth so I am getting 60gms a day still.
Everyday I feel better than yesterday, so I look forward to how I will be feeling tomorrow.
