I'm safe at home.
We made it home, all is well.
I'm on bed rest for the next 48 hours basically. No bending, lifting, straining.
Basically, take it easy.
I have a huge band-aid on my groin. Lovely.
It doesn't hurt much, more like just kinda sore.
The filter is to prevent blood clots which is like the biggest risk with the back surgery so I guess it's a good thing.
It was an easy procedure. In and out and then in bed until 6pm at which point I was allowed to walk the hall once and go to the restroom and then back in bed until 7pm and then I was allowed to leave.
I'm super tired. I got like no sleep last night and no rest today even though I was in bed all day.
It's hard to get comfy when they tell you no pain meds at all because of anesthesia.
After the surgery, they gave me some pain meds but I was so hurting, I still couldn't sleep.
I will probably sleep like the dead tonight.
Just wanted to check in and let you all know I'm ok. I'll post tommorrow in better detail privately how my whole day was, it was kinda crazy.
Glad to be home. I missed my Kali kitty something fierce. I can't wait to snuggle with her in bed all night tonight.
Later days.
