Post-op Day 6 - Thursday

Thursday

Got up feeling crappy.  Painful lower abdomen.  Kind of like I had been doing a bunch of situps.  Guess I did too much walking yesterday.

Took my Levofloxacin antibiotic in preparation for tomorrow's catheter removal.

Later in the morning I felt dizzy and foggy.  Looked up side effects of the antibiotic - sure enough, dizziness.  I was expecting an antibiotic to give you gut problems, not make you dizzy.

Speaking of gut, I still am not back to normal in that department.  Still have gas and just out-of-wack digestive track.  I think I drank too many fizzy soft drinks too early.  I was warned not to.

It's about 8:30 pm now and my dizziness seems mostly gone.  Still have gassy gut, but not a big problem (I hope).

Will drive over to COH in the morning  for 11:30 appointment.  The catheter was kind of fun for a while, but it has worn out its welcome.  What follows; however, may be worse.  They told me to bring some "man pads" for after the catheter.
