FIRST NIGHT

Possibly the worst night of my life... I am a drama queen but seriously the worst night of my life.
 (So far).

So I hoped that all the drugs would just make me fall asleep, but no there was no chance of that... I was awake the entire night... THE ENTIRE NIGHT.

- I had a drip in my hand which is pretty normal for hospital stays, that didn't bother me.
- I had drains coming out of me neck and hip!! ew ew ew they were attached to glasses that collected all my blood. ( SO WEIRD)
- I had a machine attached to my legs this was to help circulation.
- My arm was attached to a blood pressure monitor... this went off every 30mins and was constantly attached.
- I was practically upright this was to give the swelling somewhere to go.

Basically sleep was impossible as I could not move as I was attached to all these machines and it was impossible.

I will spear you the details but being on a drip constantly meant alot of bed pan usage (goodbye dignity)

The first night was awfully uncomfortable but the pain wasn't too bad as I had loads of meds, icepacks and the local anesthetic was still present so feeling hadn't started coming back. It was a traumatic night and I felt like I was trapped in a coffin because I literally could not move any body part besides one arm although I had to be careful as it was attached to a stupid machine.
