Tonsillectomy Day 1

Getting ready to hit the clouds as I wait for the meds to kick in. But today was bad but not horrible. My wonderful boyfriend came over at 5:00AM-Jan 4, 2012 to be able to be there with me & family for my surgery & recovery. Not only did he get up early & make a trip from cypress to sugarland but recently just left my house. He was with me all day. I am so blessed by him & love him so much already but as well for being so considerate & helpful. Helped my mom out & made sure I was comfortable (as can be), that I ate & rubbed my back or hair to make sure I could take a couple naps. My mom of course is a given for helping me out & being there & my little bro totally stepped up & also helped with my comfort, if I needed anything he would get it, water…soup…cold towel…tea…medicine. Love my bro, he’s really growing up & being a true gentleman.

Now the tonsillectomy, I remember preop, getting my IV, changing beds in the surgery room, the nurse strapping me in cuz this bed was small & that’s it…lights out for Nicky. Lol. Woke up in recovery coughing slightly, little confused where I was. But overall good just sleepy! Eventually was able to come home after feeling quite nauseous. Juju was here at home as I mentioned, a best friend & bf came over to watch a movie with me & pretty much just chill with my love with on & off movies & tv. Or he would play games with my bro while I slept. It was all fine & dandy until maybe an hour ago where I got really really nauseous again, only this time I knew it was gonna come up, got that tickle at the bottoms of my chin. Gross!!!! But man do I feel a lot better after a visit to the porcelain king. That was my day & day one of beginning recovery. Bed time…I’m sleepy (perfect timing)
