I finally felt the pain in my stomach today. I think all the shoulder pain was masking everything else in my stomach. I literally had a minor panic attack in the morning because of the pain and because the pain medication was actually causing me literal pain. It was the first time I said to myself, "Why did I do this?" I can honestly say that I had a moment of regret and then Ryan reminded me of all the reasons I did it. I'm so glad that I had him there with me! By the end of the day Dr. Billy was ready to discharge me and we were on our way home by 7:30pm. It was really exciting but even more scarey! I was terrified that there would be no way to comfort me or that the pain medications just wouldn't work.
Needless to say we took the long way home, and it was a loooooong night! I couldn't find a comfy position to sleep in or sit in. I also had a lot of the gas build up that seemed to take forever to leave my body, no matter how much walking I did.
