I am in the hospital thinking that I will get to go home, but that is not going to happen today. I began running a fever, and my blood sugars were not in control. So, they are keeping me another night, and to be honest I am fine with it because after this scary surgery I preferred to be close to help if I need it. The fever was 101.6 and the blood sugars are in the 300's, so one more day, just one more day. I was able to walk several times during the day and get in 3 liquid boosts in as well, so besides what was keeping me in the hospital, I was doing okay.

Woke up fever free, and blood sugars are in the 200's, so today is the day I get to go home! They released me at 3pm, and the drive home was a little painful, every bump hurt but I am so glad to be going home. The doctor sent me home with oxycodone for the pain, and I am not shy to take it, because to tell the truth pain hurts! The nurses told me that if I am in pain that healing is more difficult. My first night at home I was in the most pain during the night while I was trying to sleep!! This went on for about 3 nights and then I called the surgical nurse and she told me that I shouldn't be laying flat, but no one told me. They should have told me this when I was released from the hospital. When I put more pillows to raise my head and I finally slept very comfortably.
