Home From the Hospital

By Laurie | December 19, 2008

I just wanted to post a quick update to let everyone know that I am home from the hospital and am doing well following my surgery yesterday. I had a tonsillectomy with some additional nose throat procedures.

They took good care of me at Baylor Frisco, and I got some good drugs. Now that I’m home, the drugs aren’t as good so I’m starting to feel the pain a little bit more. I have been sleeping for most of the day, and will probably sleep straight through the next few days, waking up to promptly take my medicine to stay ahead of the pain.

I read some pretty bad horror stories from other adults who have had this done, and my doctor told me I am going to be in pain for about 10 days. I’m not looking forward to it, but I really hope this helps my breathing in the long run. Dave has been taking good care of me too. I have my favorite ice cream (Blue Bell homemade vanilla), and some yummy soups. I also have Ensure and Slim Fast to make sure I am getting all the vitamins I need. Nikki dropped by the hospital last night with some of my favorite magazines, so I have plenty of good reading material.

Thanks to everyone for all of the well-wishes. I am sure I will have nothing better to do than post updates for the next week, lucky you!
