Down the recovery path

So day 2 after surgery and I am typing so I am making progress.  I am in a lot of pain, although the Tylenol 3 with Codeine helps a lot.  My chest is sooo much smaller than it was before.  Here's the run down of the day of surgery and after effects.

Day of Surgery:
I was shuffled into a room and given a gown to wear with nothing else.  That is not fun!!!  Then was given a patch for nausea and also a little shot to relax me.  I was then wheeled into the operating room and moved to the table.  From that point on I don't remember a thing.  Next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery super hot and sweaty.  I stayed a couple of hours in recovery and then was moved to a room with an 81 year old woman who I think was dealing with dimensia.  I was given morphine and Tylenol 3 for pain and wow it put me to sleep!!!

Recovery:
Came home from the hospital on Wednesday and I am doing ok.  The soreness and pain has not gone away, so I am still taking Tylenol 3 with Codeine and it is working to take away the pain.  My chest is still swollen as is the rest of my body from the I-Vs but I am super happy with the results of the surgery.  I will hopefully post pics later on this week when I am feeling up to it.
