IM HOME!!!!!

Left hospital after lunch time.....they have my pain under control and have gone through meds with me.

Im not going to lie and say I'm pain free, cause I'm not......but it's more like a deep deep ache that flares if you twist, jar or bend over. BUT......with the meds it's bearable and I certainly didn't expect to be pain free that's for sure. I'm icing as much as possible to keep any swelling down and I'm in this sling for 6 weeks. At day 5 im allowed to take the sling off for a shower, so it's sponge baths for now 🛁. My meds are still 2 Panadol 4 hourly, 2 Endone 4 hourly 1X20mg Targin at bedtime and 2X25mg Voltarin per day for inflammation. Sending hubby out shortly to get a few V pillows....we call them boomerang pillows here in Oz. Thanks again for all your support. I will keep the updates going for those of you that are heading toward ops, it's nice to know what to expect.....I know some of you have definately clued me up so I knew what to expect 😘❌❌❌❌❌

    Well so e KErri, your on the other side now and able to share your tips with everyone. Beware of themshoppinitis that I got! I couldn't sleep and didn't want to disturb my hubby, so I tried to get myself comfy in my son' bed ( he's at uni).... I found my sleep deprived self gawping at the shopping channel and bought some saucepans that you can hit with a hammer and they don't chip....yeah right, I then bought some lovely bedding and some solar lights for the garden! What on earth was I doing?? Ha ha ha ! That's what happens when you can't sllep and wait for the meds alarm to tell you it's ok to have the next dose. My GP gave me liquid morphine in the end, so that I could top up if I needed to. I watched more catch up tv through the night than I thought imaginable. I loved hearing everyone get up in the morning....hi!!! Calls little lonely me  in need of human contact! So, my tip....don't accidentally stray onto the shopping channel, while channel hopping.....it'll cost ya! 

    Ps. My collar bone was incredibly painful too. It's where my bone was shaved and scar tissue removed. Key hole surgery disguises what's gone on inside your body. My nurse said if I'd had it done years ago, I'd be in hospital of a week and have a massive scar down my arm. Thank ourselves lucky.

    good luck with sleep, I have a class of  30 to re-introduce myself to tomorrow....eek!

      Hi Ali.....YEP I'm through the op and out on the other side. Like many warned me that I might, I did end up having to stay in hospital overnight, I was in awful pain and they needed to get my meds working properly.

      Trust me I will not be looking at any shopping channels. I'm happy to sit here in my recliner napping and using my iPad. Yep my collar bone is sore too.....well not so much sore as it just aches and aches. My keyholes are getting itchy....that's always a good sign.

      good luck with getting back in front of your class tomorrow and take care 😘❌❌
