Recovery

This journey is taking so long to post! But I will try to finish it up here! I was in surgery for about 4 hours. I recovered in SICU (surgical ICU) for about 2 hours until I could breath on my own and they could take my ventilator out. I was totally out of it and had no idea what I was doing or saying! (like I was kind of rude to people I didn't know) The family told me what all I said, and I couldn't believe it! The pain meds were wonderful!! I do remember all the things I said and hallucinated about while on 'drugs'!!
I had dancing girls coming out of my TV when it was off and when no one was in my room.. hmm..? I had a little kid living behind my bed, that would ONLY come out when I was alone!! I had Octopus crawling all over my walls.. When it was bed time and the it was lights out, that's when I would have panic attacks. My room would fill up with shiny sparkling cobwebs. I would lay all night and reach up and pick one out of the air and pull my fingers apart and the cobweb would stretch and then I could peel it off like glue. For 5 straight days and nights, I didn't go to sleep! My room was HAUNTED!! I would tell Dave to "Reach up and get one, their right in front of you"!! And he would say "No Lynn, I believe you"!!
That 5Th morning after no sleep, I asked the nurse "Did someone die in this room, because it's haunted!! She checked my med list and my pain meds were to strong for me. The next night, I slept like a baby!
