Road to Recovery


So my surgery was a success and what was supposed to be a 2 hour surgery turned into a 4 hour surgery. I woke up crying and i guess i was struggling to breathe because the nurse started saying " okay Jessica i need you to start taking deep breaths or else you will stop breathing so i started taking deep breaths. I heard i did so good in surgery. When i woke up from surgery it was kind of funny i was burping like crazy haha. They transferred me to a room where i could recover and see my parents. I was still burping like crazy and i could hear my mom and dad saying wow she is burping a lot. My mom asked the nurse why is she burping so much? the nurse said it was a common normal thing after this type of surgery. I was so out of it i dozed off and woke up again and i looked at my mom and asked her what time is it? and she said it was 7:10pm and here i thought it was only 3:30 in the afternoon. My parents left for the night and i stayed over night at the hospital. I'm glad i stayed the night at the hospital because i got very sick to my stomach i was throwing up lots of blood all night and early morning Wednesday.  I was awake and responding to all my amazing and helpful nurses. I really do appreciate all the help from my nurses even though they had to see me throw up blood. I got to see my oral surgeon as he came into my room to check up on me early Wednesday morning. I was able to get some sleep even though the hospital bed was so uncomfortible and it was hard to roll over to my side with the IV in my right arm. I was mostly excited that i was able to go home after a long horrible night staying at the hospital and i was so hungry  i wanted food and i understand the hospital has to follow rules about giving patients food. I was finally able to have water and sprite. I had to get medicine to calm my nasuea since i threw up blood again and all i wanted to do was lay down in bed.
