YAY! I had my sugery
Hey Kris,
Glad to hear you are doing better. I also got pneumonia and they kept me in the hospital an extra three days. I was running a low-grade fever for two days after I came home, which made me feel kind of punky, but other than that, everything went well.
If you get too much pain, I'd contact the doctor. You might want to limit the treadmill until you go back for your checkup. Every surgeon is different, but mine didn't want me using the treadmill that early out.
Feel better and welcome to the loser's bench!

YAY! Welcome to the Loser's Bench, I had Dr. S too! Of course, he's so busy I've only seen him once since surgery. I usually have my checkups with Pat Jordan.
It is normal to have one incision site be more painful than the others as it is usually the one that they did the most work through or made the most manipulations through. It can take quite a while for the pain to go completely away but it's not bad enough to take any pain meds for...at least in my experience.
Aside from the pneumonia, it sounds like you're on track. Keep it up!

Hi Kris,
I think we were in Bayview at the same time. I was re-admitted on that Thursday and stayed until Friday around 6:00. I was walking around trying to say hi to other patients, but I don't recall meeting you. I had my surgery about one week before you and I still have one area which burns like something is pulling it. I have found that wearing a wrap around it has helped. Best of luck! Pam
