I'm home from surgery have a question.
Hello all,
I am home I had my surgery on March 28. All went well except I had some blood in my stool the day I was leaving. They were not going to let me go because my hemaglobin was lower than what it was when I cam in but still in normal range. They drew my blood again in the afternoon and it went up a number. I feel good but still a little sore. I am so glad I can sleep in my own bed. Hospital beds SUCK!
I have a question. It seem I am getting a lot of fluid out of my drain. I sometimes empty it 4 times in 24 hours. It looks good it is pink with some fatty tissue in it but I don't know if I am not suppose to have all this fluid. They left me with an emergency number but I don't think this is an emergency. I don't want to bother doc on his day off. I have no fever an fell pretty good. I am walking 30-40 min a day and drinking all of my fluids. What do you think should I call? Anyway it's good to talk to you all.
Christy....So glad you are home and doing well.....A call tomorrow to your doctor would be a safe thing to do. You could even call the nurses station at the hospital you were in and ask them about it if it increases.
We will be praying for a speedy recovery.....You take care and keep us posted....God Bless....Hugs & Love....Tammy H.
Dear Christy,
Welcome to the Losers bench!! I didnt have a drain with an attachment-but I would have to change my dressing several times a day and a lot of times it was pink and yucky looking....I was told that as long as something I drank didnt come through the site-it was normal to have to change dressings that often....Are you drinking/eating anything colored like green/orange jello or such where it would make it colored? My girlfriend, Sherr had the drain with the container- and it would be pink looking liquidy. Hope this helps-let us know what you find out and we will keep lifting you in prayer for a speedy recovery. Love, Janet
