Home....update

Hi all.....
well I am home- and officially on the bench!

Surgery was Tue- Dr. said it was a perfect procedure- everything went great- liver was nice and small and outta the way....recovery was a lil difficult as we could not get my pain under control.....
Wed the catheter came out and my bladder has stopped working due to the painkillers-- had some med and finally peed a little.  Had to cut back on the pain med as it was causing the problem.  Wed rest and walk- Wed night- BAD BAD gas pains....up from midnight until 6am walking the halls...not much relief but it moved-- had a lil accident....oops.....but EVERYONE was great.....Thur afternoon late came home.....gas again all day today and lots of watery stool....but feeling good.....showered today brushed teeth and have been sipping lots.....all is GREAT!!

thanks for your support and prayers......

Congratulations! Glad you are doing well and taking all of the pain and side affects in stride. Each day will get better and easier!

Welcome to the bench! Hang in there,everyday will be better!

I felt better just being home and everything does get better.  Use your gas-x strips and see if that helps some.  It did me.  Doesn't help with the gas they blow you up with but does help with intestenal gas.
Sip, rest, walk, sip, rest, walk.  This phase will be behind you before you know it.

HOORAY!!! Glad surgery went well and your home now!

Welcome back!

The gas will get better the more active you can get.  Meanwhile, just heal.  You're doing great.

BTW, which surgery did you have?  Would you mind adding it to your info under the avatar?  (It helps us to respond to you more personally...)

Thanks for the ask on the avatar-- will go figure that out....LOL

Congratulations on your surgery and welcome to the loser's bench.
Take care.

Welcome home!

The gas is the worst, but since you have it moving that will help a lot!
