DAY THREE

Well, my first sleep at home, and even though I did not sleep well, I got way more than I did when in the ICU.

I am lucky that I have no gas pain in the shoulders. But I am passing plenty of wind. I have had years of practice at this so it comes pretty naturally.

My skin is crawling and I am struggling not to scratch all over, but I hear it is just a side affect of the drugs.

I am getting by just with panadole at the moment so all seems pretty good. The only part that hurts is the big incision. I still do however feel that I was the man at the country fair who gets the cannon ball in the stomach.

How good is the first shower after the surgery? I didn't want to get out.
