Erica, welcome to the losers bench!  Glad to hear things went well with your surgery.  Dr C is awesome, so is the whole team there.  Sip and walk and then do it some more!  Hang in there, it gets better.......Susan  :)

Hey Susan, Yes Dr. C is the best.  Him Dr.Mann and a few of the interns were checking on me frequently. They definetly care about there patients and make sure they have the best care. I had no complaints at all about my stay.  Erica

Good for you, Erica...you sound like a scrapper!!!  Welcome to the ohana you LOSER, you...lol!

Good am Erica, Good for you! Glad to hear you are doing well. That was me as soon as I could get out of the bed I did! I told myself "you will get a blood clot" and scared myself more than the docs did. I remember it to this day over 5 1/2 years later that 17 times around our wing here at St. Mary's is a mile. Now, I walk 2 miles about 5 x's a week changing up my paths and scenery so I don't get bored. Its amazing! All best!

Thanks so much. Yes the night of my surgery I was so tired but I made myself get out of that bed. I walked around the ward twice back to back. Then again a few hours later. I know exactly what you mean about scaring yourself more than the docs did.lol.. Thanks again for the nice post Erica

Hey beautiful! Congrats and welcome to the loosers bench. I'm with you on getting up and walking...I didn't like the leg compression thingy's (great technical term huh?) Rest,sip, do laps in the house.

Hey Jen, You are the best. I wanted to know if I could take the gas x. I knew the if I checked your page you would have the answer. Thanks so much for everything, your page is so helpful. Erica

Welcome home Erica!  I am glad things went well with your surgery.  I too have a history of blod clots.  I couldn't get out of bed the first night.  So Bravo to you.  I sure was up walking the next day though.  Each day gets better and better. Especially now that I am home, I am feeling better each day.  We are pretty much surgery buddies, I am looking forward to our journey together on the losing side!

Hey girly, We are surgery buddies. Congrats to you and i will keep you in my prayers. It does get better each day. I don't want to over do it, because I know my body has been through alot it still needs to rest. But I am glad you are were able to get up the nex day. Take care of yourself and keep me posted on your journey and I will do the same.
