So just a quick update, I am back to daily packing and daily nurse visits. I was so happy and lucky to get my old nurse back, it makes it much easier so I don't need to repeat my story over again. Maggie is amazing and excellent with wound care, so I know I'm well taken care of. I am once again on antibiotics because we believe an infection is starting, better safe then sorry I guess. I am starting to get all to familiar with antibiotics and wound care products. I am trying to remain positive even though I am extremely frustrated and angry that this has happened again. I went to physio today and part of my upper body exercises was to punch a bag with weights in my hands to relieve some frustration and stress. BOY did it feel good lol! Exactly what I needed. Now to take it easy, relax whenever possible and try to let this wound heal and hopefully quickly.
My days in ICU were alright I guess. I spent a lot of time sleeping. For the first few days my blood levels were everywhere and I ended up needing more blood after the surgery. A lot of my time in ICU was a blur. Saturday which was day after my surgery was Alyssa's first birthday. I can't believe she is 1 already. I did get to see her on her birthday which was nice, but I was tired and she was in a new place and got fussy pretty quick. The morning of her birthday my sister in law and brother were kind enough to watch her and had a mini party for her. See some of the pics below: She had a blast for her birthday and was totally spoiled. Back to ICU days .... My doctors had thought I'd still have the breathing tube in a few days after surgery. Everything went so well I was moved out of ICU by Tuesday. I was moved to my own private room, it wasn't on the floor my doctor originally wanted me to be but it...
