The day after surgery

Saturday 14th April

I slept soundly that night but woke with a bit of a sore throat. The pain relief had obviously well worn off and one of the first things needed that morning was of course painkillers ... and more tea!

Mum arrived later that morning to take over supervising me ... I couldn’t be left alone for 48 hours after the anaesthetic. Mark was then able to escape for a short time of some normality to complete the weekly Sainsbury’s shop. He returned home laden with the usual items, plus a few goodies!

I set about making some toasties for us all for lunch, keen to get up and do something! While making lunch my phone bleeped with a message from what’s app ...

“I've been uming and ahing since this morning about what to do, matt and I were going to share with everyone this eve but it's not appropriate now, however I wanted you to know from me, we are expecting a baby, due in October. It's crappy timing I know but would hate for you to hear third hand xxxxx”

This floored me. The tears couldn’t stop falling.

Yesterday while waiting we had tried to keep focused on trying to get to the Birthday dinner arranged for Saturday evening to celebrate the April Birthdays of three good friends and my own. Her timing was not good. I know there’s never a good time for someone to tell you they’re pregnant, but I had been out of surgery less than 24 hours, heavily bleeding, in pain, the worry about the upset for our families and feeling such sadness for Mark and I at our chance of becoming a family being snatched away. Their baby probably due within a couple of days of when ours should have been.

We did go to the dinner, but I couldn’t bring myself to talk to these friends let alone make eye contact. They did announce it before we arrived, but I don’t know how the news was received. Nor do I really want to know.

So you will probably see me start posting a lot about my recent vns surgery. This is all for educational and awareness purposes. When my dr recommended this surgery I tried to research statistics and others personal experience but found a giant lack in any online info. So I am hoping I can add my bit of experience to help anyone else. I had three incisions instead of the standard two because I also had my port a catheter removed. Number 1 incision is where the wires are wrapped around the nerve, 2 is where they took out my port, and 3 is where the magnetic device was implanted. I will have a more detailed account in a blog posted either today or tomorrow. #vnssurgery #vns #powerport #epilepsyawareness #epilepsywarrior #epilepsy #warriormommy #fuckepilepsy #seizures #seizureawareness #incisions #ouch #awareness #brokenbutnotbeaten #battlescars #dayaftersurgery
