First Surgery

Yup, you need to get up and moving asap, because there's a (remote) threat of a blood clot forming, which could cause some really serious problems.  Merely walking around mitigates the risk.  Laying around increases the risk.

 

My wife went through the same thing.  Spent a few days in the hospital, then a few more at home.  Was back to work the next week, and 100% 2 weeks later.

I'm anti doctors and anti medicine in general but what ever juice they shot me up with last night was great lol dilotta(sp)? Something like that. I'll probably just do as they say though they said get up and move around asap afterwards as long as I'm not woozy from the narcotics.

Perhaps dilaudid, its a hydromorphone

 

 

Good luck dude!

You got the Disneyland injection Clayton. Enjoy the ride. It's legal. Listen to Rhino. He is spot on. They will make three small 1 inch incisions to take that sucker out. It will be like your own Bermuda Triangle on your abdomen. Where did your naval go. It was just here and dissappeared. Let us know how you're feeling when you feel up to it.

Funny thing about meds.  They have different affects.  They can plug 'em up, or flush 'em out.

 

I'm pretty lucky in that regard, meds don't seem to bother my digestive system, except for the stuff they have you take prior to a colonoscopy.  Then, I have to make sure I'm no more than a few steps from the porcelain throne.

 

No kiddind! I've been put under several times for various reasons, three for colonoscopy or upper gi.  The anesthesia for all 3 produced MAJOR constipation and the other gave me a muscle ache/knot between my shoulder blades the size of a baseball. That sucker hurt with every breath i took. The ONLY thing that relieved it was a muscle relaxant (valium). Anal doctors must use some sort of alien anesthesia, lol.

Congratulations on your outcome.  Do what they tell you and walk as much as you can, for some reason they want the hear bow sounds and have a movement, what's up with that anyways??????

HOOOORAY! You're all better, now get back to work.
