Six hours post-op

About 6 hours after having a general anesthesia and going under the knife and I'm doing great! Dana and Tom came to see me before I was wheeled back. I was a little overwhelmed by the OR waiting area because I was lying there alone and it wasn't a very attractive and started to cry. Finally a nurse assigned to me came to introduce herself and noticed the tears. She comforted me and then a friend (and also the mom of one of my stuents) came to see me and hugged me. I didn't like the way my IV felt and I was cold. When I awoke in recovery, I was real sleepy and didn't want to wake up or talk but the nurse was right there next to me and I felt like I had to be polite and make small talk. She got me some ice and so that was good. I went to the next room and DH met me there. I ate some crackers and drank water. I wasn't in there long and then it was time to go home! We went to Rite Aid and then Target. I laid back in the van and it felt so good. By the time we got home I was a little hungry and ate some bread and milk and took my pain pill. It's Lortab. I laid down on the couch and put the eye mask on while DH ate lunch with Sack. My mom came over during that time. When DH got back from lunch, he said he'd go to Wal-mart and Kroger. Sire came home during that time and left for basketball practice soon after. I ate a few fun-size 3 Musketeers and they were so good! Frozen, of course. I've used the crutches and they are much easier to use now that I really need them. I'm thankful for that! Sack will be home soon. I hope she's not ticked off about me not being able to take her to school this morning. I hope to have some pictures up soon. Oh, I have a post-surgical shoe on. The sole is white and the upper part is black with 2 velcro strips. My toes are showing. I dread the feeling coming back in my foot. :(
