Feeling Better
Hi, the patient here. I am feeling much better 1 week post-op. I do not recommend abdominal surgery to anyone, especially being awake during it. Because of the safety of the babies, I had a spinal and morphine, but was not put under for the surgery. The surgery lasted and hour and a half, not fun. The recovery has been okay. I did okay while I was in the hospital, but the first couple days home were tough. I could not even get out of bed on my own to use the restroom, thank goodness for Sam and my Mom. Sam went back to work on Tuesday and my Mom has been taking care of me since. I will be sad to see her go back to Florida tomorrow. I have one more week at home on rest, then I go back to the doctor on Friday and we will take a look at the babies and hopefully get the okay to go back to work....... at least for a little while.

Glad to hear things are looking up! Let us know if you need anything...extra reading material, whatever!
Odds are good you'll have abdominal surgery for the delivery too, which SUCKS. BADLY. I was desperate for a vaginal delivery and almost got to have it, but I missed it by a week and one IUGR baby. Sigh. But it's TOTALLY WORTH IT in the end. At least you know what to expect, right? :)
I'm so glad all went well and I wish you a speedy recovery! :)
So glad that you five are doing well. Can't wait to follow the rest of your story!
Great news about the procedure! Glad you're all doing well.
*So* glad the procedure went well, but I'm sorry you've been uncomfortable. I can't imagine being awake in surgery like that-- you're very brave. :)
