My operation

Sounds great, except I find mushrooms disgusting!

I love a good fungus. Put them on nearly everything.

So the drinks/collector guy is weird. He doesn't carry soya milk, as I found out first time he asked me if I want a bev. After that I just say no, as he made no indication he was going to get any. He looks offended.

Then he comes in to take my tray away when I'd barely started my freshly made, personal smoothie. I grab it before it's gone, and he leaves with the tray, looking offended.

There's a powder for that.

Sounds like an asshole to me.

I might be going home today, depending on how things go. I've got most of the shit out if me now, but they're still going on about my oxygen saturation.

I'm getting mentally very fed up now and want to go home. I talked to the surgeon and I'm not clear if she actually made any improvements I'm going to have to follow up about this. It seems the new diet is not yet in the bag. Fuck.

[ReptilianPeon]

Well that sucks. I'd be happy to visit again if you're still there. I don't know how they could have cut you up and not have made any progress.

[Joods]

Be patient Rob... you literally had your guts violated, even though it was in the most unintruding way, there's a reason for your soft diet. When my oldest had her surgery at age nine, she was put on a very soft food diet for three weeks. Everything had to be non-chewable. But we could put stuff she liked in a blender and all was turned into baby food consistency.

Hang in there. You're doing fine!

That low O2 saturation happens to me every time I come out of anesthesia. For only a couple of hours, though.

It's the only time in my life that I actually feel somewhat depressed, as well. I always feel hopeless after surgeries when I'm in the PACU.

This one nurse is really pissing me off, she's so rude. She talks like I'm a naughty boy who isn't trying hard enough to breathe. It's a shame because all the others are lovely. I don't need the stress bitch, I'm trying to recover. Anyhow, I feel really good despite what any silly test says. I'm sure the chest X-ray will clear me. I think the tightness from the operation is restricting my breathing somewhat. And I have all these tubes pulling me. And you're being a bitch. I'm still achieving my baseline, so what more do you want you stupid cow?

Every time she walks into the room start holding your breath.

Robble! I've literally only just seen this thread! I'm glad it's going okay for you so far and I hope you get your dietary restrictions eased.

Lots of love!
