Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 Well group I came home from the hospital last night. I stayed a total of ten days due to pneumonia and a leak in one of the valves that are left when they remove your gallbladder. The whole thing was not painful or anything just boring as hell!! It really dragged on after Tuesday mourning. I was really weapy Wednesday. They finally ruled out all other possibilities and sent me home with my drain. I was somewhat grateful because I didn't want it to be major and me have to come back and face the central line thing again! Hopefully my vains will get better as I lose weight. I am a total of 11 days post-op (open) and I feel pretty damn good. The pain is so minimal, the gas is not! hehehe I went to Wal-mart today shopping for 2 hours, if you can believe that. I had to rest a lot, but I feel real good tonight. For anyone pre-op reading this. Walk, walk, walk as much as you can stand it when you come out of the anesthesia. It truly, honest to god will make your recovery faster! This was the third time I haad surgery and that is what I did different. I walked a butt load in the hospital. 5-6 times a day. I have 1/4 the soreness I had with the previous 2 surgeries. So walk as much as you can push yourself to. Thats all for the prechen tonight.
