Post Op-Day 2

I had a restless night last night.  I woke up every hour on the dot.  I don't know if the painkillers were agreeing with me.  I felt totally out my face.  Which in normal circumstances is okay, but I was hallucinating about all manner of things.

I am taking my painkillers religiously as if I don't I feel very uncomfortable..  This means that I am sleeping quite a bit, which I think is okay considering it just two days since I had the operation.

The nurse came into visit me in the afternoon and changed my dressings.  She said everything looked fine.  I was surprised at the length of the wounds as I thought that they would have been a lot smaller.  The staples holding the closed look very ugly.  The thought of getting them out makes me queezy.  I have put some pictures up of the visit.

A physiotherapist from Forth Valley Royal Hospital got in touch to arrange an appointment for me next Wednesday morning.  I am looking forward to meeting the physiotherapist as then I will know that I am fully on the road to recovery.
