Surgery done! Arrived at hospital at 6:45 am. Went back for pre op around 8:00. I think I went to the OR around 9:45. Total surgery took only about 10 minutes. When I got to the OR, no one talked to me other than to tell me to slide over on the bed and put my arm out. The anesthistist started my IV and within minutes I was out. What if I had a question?? Oh, well! The next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery and my wrist was all bandaged up.
I went back to my room about 30 minutes later and they asked what I wanted to eat and drink. The last time I had surgery, I opted for crackers and ginger ale. I know that I had to eat and drink something to show them I wasn't sick and I could get discharged sooner. So, I opted for water and crackers this time. Trying to eat as clean as possible. They gave me a pain pill since the pain was starting to set in.
Went home around 11:30 and stopped at the store on the way. It's rough having your dominant hand immoble and when you have to keep it elevated. At the store, I bought some fresh veggies, hummus, distilled water, vegetable broth and some fruit. If I can't get my supplements in today, at least I'm going to eat as clean as possible.
Went home and made a plate of veggies, hummus, and a cup of veggie broth. I'm staying at my parents for the night since I need some help. It hurts to do anything with my hand, so the more help the better.
Had dinner out. Ordered salmon, dry baked potato, and steamed broccoli. I was hungry. I should have had a tossed salad, but that wouldn't have satisified my hunger. Tomorrow is another day, and I'll be getting back on the reset supplements.
