1st post-op appt

Today was the first follow up to the surgery. He made me lay down flat to check the incisions. That was fun. He poked at them. More fun. I have bruising, which is apparently normal. I'm healing pretty good. The not normal is apparently I'm one of those special ones who is allergic to the pre-op prep stuff they put on to prevent infections. It's not iodine, but I honestly can't remember the name of the stuff. I've got a nasty rash that goes across the stomach, stopping with a perfect line on either side. It's bright red and spotted. FUN. It's been kinda itchy and warm, and he said that the incisions are fine, those are not infected, but the rash will need help to get rid of it. Take benedryl and I should feel relief. For now, I'm skipping that till bedtime, because it really doesn't bother me that much and benedryl kicks my butt.
He also checked out my throat and listened to my chest since I've been having issues with that since surgery day. He says that's just due to being intubated. So at least I know that's what caused it and not a cold starting. So basically, healing good, allergic to the prep stuff, throat is fine, back is fine, those issues should be better by a week post op. I'm not allowed to drive yet, until I can sit upright comfortably. It still hurts to sit in the car for any length of time, and I'm still moving slow, so no driving for me. No lifting more than 10lbs till at least the next appt. He did tell me to take my temp a few times for the next few days to make sure I don't develop a fever with the weird allergy. Everything was all normal while there though.
Oh, pathology report was back already. He told me the gall bladder was full of stones, and thickened, and if I would have waited much longer for the surgery, they would have had to take it by full open surgery. So that makes me feel a lot better about having it done.
I made it all day yesterday with no meds, till bedtime, and even then, I ended up on the couch. For some reason now it's too uncomfortable to sleep in bed. I crashed on the recliner last night and slept so-so. I hope that gets easier. I'm still not very hungry. More thirsty than anything else. I have to start eating more and they told me to take a stool softener because I haven't had that fun since surgery morning. Yay. I figured it's mostly because of nerves on surgery day, and I haven't ate much since, there's not much in there. I'm trying some real food tonight, so maybe that will help things along.

And ttc related....
I honestly lost track of what day I'm on. I think day 11. I started having cm coming back today, but so far no twinges/ovary pains or anything in that area. It will really irritate me if things all fall into place on it's own this month, because sex is seriously not happening right now. That thought scares me. I'm tracking it all though so we know if we have to wait longer when I go back in a few weeks.

I still have help through Sunday. I haven't decided if we are going away for Easter, or staying home. I had my mom stop at target today for me to get some last minute stuff for K, and I know he's really excited about an egg hunt tomorrow, and all the stuff we originally had planned for visiting Sunday. But the little bit I did today, I don't know if I can handle all the running and entertaining this weekend. I'm really exhausted. I'm ready to be back to normal. I hate depending on other people for things, and I just want to have control of my house and things again. The nurse today said by a week post op, I should be doing much better. I sure hope so.
