Back operation: Day 2

Day 2:
I couldn't really sleep that night, it was different surroundings from my room at home and everything that made me secure wasn't there. I wasn't used to other people sleeping in the same place as me.  I started to see light coming through the windows and didn't go back to sleep that morning.  I don't know what time, but my Dad walked in as he was staying in the room I was living in.  It was a relief knowing he was there now and he took a seat by my side and waited until my breakfast came in.  I think I had cornflakes? Or was it toast? Maybe both.  But all I knew is I was hungry and I had water as well, I couldn't become dehydrated.  I think that was the only day I was hungry. My mum joined me in the icu in the morning and my dad left for work.  I remember talking to her but I still didn't like it.  We were waiting for the nurses and doctors to say I was able to go back to my room.  I was trying to look at everyone else in the room, there was old and young, and I was just shocked, I didn't think there would be that people. My first time in hospital, I was curious the whole time.  At about midday, the porters came and took me back to my room which I was so happy about.  Everything was set up again and they left.
I didn't have any visitors that day as I was still recovering, and I didn't eat anything and I didn't drink much.  I was in pain, I wasn't used to moving, not that I had much energy to move but it would have been nice to have the chance to.  My mum stayed with me all day, by my side, watching tv with me. I was so happy about the tv, that made evenings and days more fun to do other then lying on my bed.  I did bring stuff with me books, magazines etc but they were no help as I had no energy so all I did was lie there looking up at the screen. When lunch did come, my mum ate some of it for herself and I didn't have anything as I wasn't hungry.
Nurses came in every 2 hours to take my blood pressure and temperature to make sure all was fine.  When dinner came round, I saved it for my Dad for when he came as he comes straight from work to stay the night with me. The next day menu came and my  mum filled it in, putting in extra food for breakfast for me and my dad and then some lunch and dinner as I was going to eat tomorrow.  I had no dinner as I had no appetite.  As like before I am doing evenings like the next day.  My mum has gone home and my dad is here.  Food has come and my dad has eaten it, I wasn't hungry so I didn't have anything.  We both watched tv, me lying down in the bed which was tilted only a little bit so I could see better.  We watched TV all evening, and the nurses still came into to do their regular blood pressure and temperature.  All was fine.  I had a catheter in, I won't be explicit but it was in my bladder and the urine came out into a bag.  I tried sleeping all the the evening but it wouldn't happen.  I was too in pain. When I did fall asleep I was awoken by the nurses every 2 hours for the nurses to do their job which was annoying as when and if I got any sleep it was always broken.  We kept the door a bit opened so the light could show through which I liked.  The night went so slow, it felt like aggggeeees!!!
