Guest guest Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hey all I am 4 days post op (surgery Nov. 17) and doing as well as can be expected, I think. I spent 1 night in the hospital after surgery and I definately think it should have been a least 2 days. I did really well the first 24 hours and then it all went down hill. The next 24 hours were not so good. The pain meds made me vomit and thanks to this site I did not panic, I just leaned forward. Then of course I got behind on eating and pain meds so we called the OS and he fixed everthing and now I am doing well. I of course am swollen and more so on my right side. My husband has been very wonderful about taking care of me until today and he snapped. Yelling at the dog yelling at the kids and I know it's hard but suck it up. I think something he wishes I was the one taking care of him, but let me tell you it is not all rosy on this side. So now I will not be asking him for anything else and I will do it all myself. Like tonight I fixed myself mashed potatoes, but after I got finished making them I wasn't hungry any more, so I put them in the fridge for another day. sorry to vent, but I cannot imagine what he is going through is worst, is it? I asked him why all the anger and he told me he felt like a grunt. I will tell you I tell my husband thank you EVERYTIME he brings my anything. What else can I do?? hope everyone else is doing well,I saw 2 post ops from Nov. 18th and I'm glad they are doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
