I wont be able to talk for a few days. Oxygen powers your voice box. If oxygen is going through a different tube that's lower and not going up and into your vocal cords, you wont be able to speak. Therefore, no talking! First problem for Ivana.
Second, the really unfortunate part. No blogging, no texting, no emails, notta! If my right arm gets operated on, my arm will be stiff and it will probably hurt to type. This will really limit what I do. I have advised my hubby that he NEEDS to write on here and let everyone know I am okay. Please don't bombard him with telephone calls or emails. He will update as soon as he can! He's been so wonderful, and all this is weighing on him as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he sleeps for two days with me!
Oh ya! So, because of all the medicine and the surgery I will probably be out of it for more than 24 hours. I mean I will probably wake up here and there and go back to sleep. I think this is wise since waking up will mean having to deal with all the new presents I've been given from the medical professionals. They are putting me in the intensive care for about 3 days and then probably up to where I was last time for the remained of my stay. In the beginning, since the surgeon said I will be out of it, my family has been advised to go home! "If you don't take care of yourselves, you can't take care of Ivana" he said.
Sleeping is good. It's one of the things I gave up a lot of the time. I use to get like a maximum of 6. Now it's more like 10 and I'm not complaining. I just need to go to bed earlier so I wake up earlier. Starting your day between 10 and noon is such a waste of a day. You miss all the morning light, and you get so much more accomplished when places are closed and you have to stay home and get things done. Sorry, I went off on a tangent!
I know I have a left hand! I will try to use it as much and as often as I can to get the information to you. I just feel the need to forewarn you, I will be outta commission. Please stay tuned...
