A quick post

I have been fighting headaches and nausea the last couple of days. I really hope it is the same ol migraines and isn't the medication. If it is, I am just going to have to deal with it. The doctor told me I may experience migraines the first 6 months, and I was very prone to have that side effect. But when I was ok the first week, I really thought I got lucky. So I am trying to stay positive and stay quiet until this period passes. Tomorrow I spend another morning at UCSF. I should get some additional information then.

Now, I must make an adjustment to my last post. Apparently I misunderstood Sarah. When she pulled off her strips over her incisions, it didn't start bleeding. It just was open. When she said it was like a stab wound I really freaked out. I had this vision of a bloody shirt and panic set in. I am so relieved to hear that the wound was open, but not bleeding. I was in shock that UCSF didn't call her in immediately. Now I understand why. Sarah says her incisions closed up by the next day. She even had her first outing today. She went to visit a friend and even made it up a flight of stairs. So good news on her end.

I will update again after meeting with the surgeon tomorrow.
