Morning shiny Folks
I am home from the hospital, at my daughters. I finally got some good sleep last night. The last lung surgery I had the DR alternated the Hydro with Tramadol. Tramadol is a no go for me because it totally wired me. So I had a note on my chart to not give. I was pretty proud that I coasted through the first 24 hours on only Tylenol and the cold patch on my back and front. Feeling like wonder woman because I made myself get up and walk, asked for walker and did the whole floor a couple times a day. walked to and from the bathroom, no walker, unassisted and doing great.
The second night, the pain gets real bad and a sort of searing burning pain inside my chest and I am crying and asking for pain meds. They called dr and I was given a choice of Diluaded or Roxy, so screw if I am doing narcotics I am going big and I start requesting the Dilauded and getting it every five hours or so. An exray is done and it appears there is an air pocket, a leak in the incision so to speak. It has to close on its own so they disconnect the drainage and I cannot go home. since I have vapes with me and have managed to vape (unflavored, no smell) and not be detected, I am pretty content, heavily loaded and life seems good, needs are low (coffee in the morning, ice cream at night,) and they are all being met so I settle in for possibly another night which would be the third. The afternoon exray reveals the lung has sealed itself and no more air escaping and I am still doing rounds on the floor in my pajama's. I know where all the graham crackers are kept and have also found the little tubs of peanut butter on both ends of the floor, raided the supply and have a nice stash in my end table and they decide I can go home now.My daughter comes to get me, I get to stop at my house and see my cats (one who had his own emergency stay in the hospital a few days before me) both cats seem good, I have friends coming twice day to tend to their needs. On to my daughters to see my dog and get some good sleep. It is now morning but I have lost track on whether it is Thursday or Friday and just sitting up typing this and answering texts on my phone has made me tired so I am back to bed and made it through surgery #2 lung cancer of 2020-2021.
I took with me two Voopoo Drag s's and charging cord.Un flavored in these. I took (but planned to leave in the car and then at the last minute snuck them into my bathroom bag) 2 Minikins, one with Dinner Lady and a Freemax Gemm, and one with DIY Maple Bar and another Freemax Gem. My battery power stayed good with no charging needed throughout the stay which I think was 2 full days. I did not vap emuch as I had a nicotine ptch but I had it with me at all times and felt secure.
Hope you all have. nice day
