Recovery Time

Well i wake up groggy as all shit and see Shorty sitting there smiling at me. Now i'm still pretty much out of it and i think the time was after 6pm. I keep falling in and out of sleep and Shorty then leaves at 8pm i think.

I didn't have much sleep that night cause i was in pain and the nurses were checking my blood pressure and sugar every 2 hours. I was finally awake again about 8am the next morning and Shorty was coming to see me again. When she got there i was able to get up and have a shower which was a painful one.

After my shower Dr Copp came to visit me and then told me he hit a blood vessel while stitching me up. Other than that the surgery was a success. At about 9am the nurse came in and took the staples out and i was free to leave the hospital.

Once leaving the hospital we went back to the apartments we were staying at to rest up for a couple of days. One the friday i was able to move around a bit more and thats when the bleeding started. We went back and seen Dr Copp and he changed the bandage, then shorty and i went to the chemist to get some more bandages by this time the bandage filled with blood and it was back to see Dr Copp.

These to pics are of the wound and blood loss.







So this bleeding went on till at least Sunday night and by monday morning it had stopped. I have 5 scars from the operation and i'll show you then if you ask to see them lol.
