SRS: Fourth day after surgery

 Something funny always happens right after previous blog post 😂



This time it was breaking epidular. It started to leak from somewhere around the neck as it was inserted in the very low-end of the spine but was brought up next to the neck, taped down to the skin with some fancy second skin tape, and to the normal tube, which went through pump to the actual bag containing the med. The nurse checked the epidular like every other night before saying good night and noticed that some of the liquid has leaked from the epidular and wiped it off. After chatting a while with friends with phone I felt that some small drops were running down my back, called the nurse and she checked that the neck piece was fine, no leaks there but there was liquid under the tape around the area there was last time. So, they stopped the pump, cleaned up the leak and called anesthesia physician. The anticoagulant is continued 10 days (IIRC) after the surgery and that was administered already, so the cannula for the epidural couldn't be removed right away. I was painless at the time as I communicated the case very early and the night nurse told me the case and in case I had some pain today morning, I was prohibited to have breakfast as that is requirement for new epidural. So, started to sleep, without problems. In the morning I still didn't have pains, not even now, other than the pain the epidular cannula caused, it's poked into the spine after all. So, apparently I had recovered enough that the other pain meds I have for my back are enough to keep the surgery pain away as well. The cannula was removed around 10:30 am when enough time from the anticoagulant has passed and it's been fine now. One less thing for the nurses to check too!

So, cause tiny hassle, but that's part of hospital life. Things happen and reactions are made. In other aspects I have started to get used to the life here. The uppermost sheet changes, combined with wiping body with washing wipes and changing the gawn I have, those have become routine enough that one nurse is able to do it by themself as I can turn myself in the bed without help and keep myself in that position. I said to them that it's not matter of able to move, it's matter of not knowing how fast and much I can move. The today's day-shift nurse has been especially nice, when she came to change the whole sheet bundle because of the epidular episode, she was able to do it by herself and even said that it went better than she hoped. Well, I want to help in the ways I can to make their work easier, so maybe I'm "easy patient". Easier for everyone. My patience helps too, if I have something which doesn't require something immediately, I wait for the nurse to pass by as they check the patients regularly anyway.

Two of the patients were released, so half of the day there were only me and my neighbor. Just now one other patient was brought in from surgery. I wonder if I would be the next one released in this room even while it will take more than a week that I'm released. Time will tell. The situations with people in this room looks bit more ..long term anyway.

I also took different viewpoint to the world by turning the bed some ~10 additional degrees up as that much was allowed when I told the nurse that I feel bit dizzy thanks to being almost vertical for three days straight and she said that 30 degrees should still be fine and showed how much that is so I can use it as a reference. So, with bundling up the pillow, my head is pretty much upwards! I also took a look of my pussy when the nurse checked how it looked like and didn't expect it to be THAT bundled up. And the nurses have been changing the absorbing clothes in direct contact to that. It's drying up anyway, so, looking good according to nurses. I will see the real thing on monday anyway and I want to look, even while I know it might haunt me. So if it ain't pretty enough, I will only look, and if it's not haunting bad, I will even take a pic of it. I know several people wanting to see it 🤣🤣🤣.

Life here is good, even while I really look forward to the real food I will be hopefully getting on monday as the liquids are.. not exactly horrible but peppery and dill-filled sauce from other dish and that DAMN watery porridge (I hate that!) isn't very much to my liking tbh. I'm still trying to eat as much as I can as I know that it's the key to get better. 

Thanks to the epidular episode though I'm now able to feel my pussy completely. I can even faintly feel the tampon they put into the vagina. I can feel the entry of it. Clit properly. Even the labia somewhat, though they are squished together. I can also feel the roughness of the bandages. And somewhat disturbingly, the vagina in between the intestines as the food goes through them and nudges the vagina. Flatulations are a thing still but they are painless now as bowel has rebooted enough.


Gosh this one was long! Don't expect that tomorrow 😂


'Til next time~ 💜
