First Days Tornado

Shortly after having the c-section the pain medicine kicked in and the hour in the recovery room flew by as I was floating millions of miles above the hospital. They eventually wheeled me into my room and sleep was banging down my door. The nurse felt that this was the appropriate time to give me Skyridge Hospital 101 but all I wanted was sleep. She eventually left and that is when the medicine really kicked in. According to my husband I did awaken throughout the night to feed Emma, but I have no recollection of it. He was amazing during the five days we spent in the hospital since I was on a movement restriction. 

Unable to move around too much was extremely difficult for me after a few days because I am always a bundle of energy (even after a c-section). Having a very large family, including friends of the family, meant that we had constant visitors despite what the infant classes advised. Luckily, I had an amazing nurse Janet who could read me like a book (not that it is very difficult) and she was quick to make people leave temporarily while she "checked my vitals". I considered her my right hand man while I was in the hospital. Step 1 to maintaining your sanity while in the hospital: Having a hospital staff member vested in you.
