5:00 AM | Posted by Sharp's Travels
Cheri and I were up a little before 3:00 am. Mike came and picked us up as I had to be at the VA hospital in Tampa at 5:45 am. I am having surgery this morning to have a stone removed from my bladder and needed someone to drive me home. Cheri couldn’t drive because of her eye so Mike was our volunteer driver. The surgery was only a half hour long so I figured I would be back home by 11:00 am at the latest. When I woke up I had some pain around a seven level. They gave me a shot of morphine which I forgot to tell them that it gives me a bad headache and sick to my stomach. I couldn’t leave until the pain level was down to a two or three. Long story short I didn’t get out of the hospital until around 1:00 pm and yes I did had a terrible headache and was sick on the way home. Oh and one more thing I came home with a catheter which I didn’t know I would have. I made it to the recliner and slept for about an hour and a half before feeling much better and was ready for something to eat as I hadn’t had anything all day. I made it to the table and had some soup and toast which made me feel better for a while. About two hours later I was feeling sick again but in a couple more hours I was feeling better. I tried to watch some TV but could stay awake, finally I had enough and so did Cheri as she was very tired and hadn’t slept well the night before. Being I had the catheter I decided that it would be best if I slept in the recliner. Yes the surgery was a success and I will be getting rid of the catheter on Friday morning.
