Day 1: Feeling A Little Bit Better

I was awakened pretty early in the morning to have some blood work done and my vitals taken. I then talked to my surgeon who said that I should get up and move around as well as start drinking some liquids and eating some soft foods.

I then was taken for some x-rays which was extremely unpleasant because I had to keep turning my head and they kept touching my face where it was tender.

Throughout the day I got up and walked around the halls three times. I also drank some water, half of McDonald's smoothie, a little bit of a vanilla shake, apple juice, and some Italian ice stuff.

My sisters and neighbors came to visit me in the hospital.

Towards the end of the day I was able to swallow a pain pill on my first try which was a huge accomplishment for me.

I did not sleep well at all at night, and let's just say that every hospital room needs to be a private room :p

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, and I will update the blog again later today so that I am all caught up.
