One week and one day from surgery. I've a nagging a sinus headache, nasal congestion and raw nose. I'm taking saline nasal spray, to help keep inner irritated nose moist, decongestant to help the headache and was on strong pain medication.
Today was my first full day with only over the counter meds and it was a little rough. Nice to be off of the prescription stuff though, in addition to feeling out of it, woozy and/or spacey, my emotions were all over the place.
Fatigue, my all to familiar friend had returned last month when they ceased my GH, is worse now. If my hurting head didn't make sleep uncomfortable at times, I wouldn't be out of bed much. I'm very sensitive to light and noise and retreat to my dark bedroom for hours. Over the next two-three weeks my pain should lessen, the fatigue depends on what's due to the surgery and what has a hormonal cause.
Tuesday I had blood work done. Sometimes the pituitary can mess up it's signal to the kidneys after surgery and basically flush all sorts of good stuff out of your body. My sodium and electrolytes were all fine. One more hurdle crossed.
