My surgery was yesterday 8/9/17 at 7:30a. The surgery was success but I woke up with pain. The nurse gave me pain medication and felt much better. It's been difficult getting in and out of bed, standing and walking. I need two people to help me stand. I was kept overnight observation. My pain is under control. Now I scared of getting discharged and not having all this assistance.

Day 1post op
It has been difficult to sleep and rest because I am in the hospital and the nurses come often. I have more discomfort today with the incisions and need my pain meds. I am getting ready to go home. I have two drains in and I am getting to be injection myself at home to avoid blood clots. Please excuse any misspelled words or punctuation errors. I am very drowsy and medicated. Standing and walking is very hard. I need two people to help me stand and walk. Using the bathroom is no walk in the park either. Mobility is limited but the pain is more manageable than expected.

I'm glad your surgery went well and that the pain meds are helping you. I'll be following you and hoping you progressed fast in your recovery. It is definitely a hard road. The worst is over!

Casey1638 thanks for following me. My recovery is processing better than expected. I hope that I am doing everything that I am supposed to. I empty my drains twice a day and pretty much take meds. I wasn't instructed to do anything with my incisions. My first follow up appointment is this coming Wednesday at 10:30a. I am praying for good news. I am afraid to hear or see any complications.I've been following you too and I must say that you are brave woman hands down. I m very sorry to see you are in pain due to separation. I am not sure if I would be as strong as you if I have the face the same challenges. I am here praying that you are able to completely heal and live our normal life. I am here sitting on my zero gravity chair afraid to get up to use the bathroom. Is it challenging to use the toilet still?

Hi again! The toilet seat wasn't too bad for me. The first week or so I used a 5" riser so I didn't have to squat as much. After that I've been ok on a regular toilet. I just sit slow and wipe carefully. I hope too that you have zero complications! I have a good feeling that you won't. Just keep doing what the Doctor instructed and take it easy. I did not have drains so I think that led to more fluid build-up (uncomfortable swelling) and perhaps even the wound separation due to the pressure. I'm glad you have the drains - they should help you. Good luck and keep me and everyone updated! Thanks for sharing your story :)
