My day finally arrived!! I had my DIEP procedure early Monday morning. My hubby waited all day in the waiting room, except for some brief runs home to feed the critters.
I’m home now, settling in to the lift recliner. I can walk almost upright but my plastic surgeon said to stay hunched over to let the abdominal incision heal without stress on it.
I had to come home with oxygen for nights only because my O2 sats were dipping into the 70s – 80s at night.
Poor Kenn has to do everything around the house and still help me. Please pray for him, he’s got a lot on his plate right now. My mom is here for 2 weeks also. Here are some pics from my first day home.
UPDATE: I didn’t mind insomnia when I can go to my craft room and make cards. But this sitting around, not being able to go upstairs to my craft room is bugging me. I can’t read a book right now cause all the lights are out so Kenn can sleep. I’ve already scrolled Facebook and some blogs. I can however, read on my tablet or phone. I think I’ll try that, it’s 430 am here and I’ve been up all day and night.
UPDATE 2: I learned I need to use the oxygen 24 hours a day. They left small tanks and a carry bag for when I leave the house. Hoping this is very temporary!
