Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 > I have been home from the Hospital for 5 days now. As of Tuesday I > have not been able to take my meds or keep down water. If you're not able to keep down fluids *at all* you're going to need to go in and get on an IV. Does your doc know you're NPO? If not, call him back now and make sure he knows you're not able to take fluids by mouth.You can't go six days with no fluids.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 " He said the recoup time can be very long depending on the repairs. " I don't know about humans but this is true for greyhounds. It is a strange little rerouting kind of surgery. Whipple for the knee? But it is a VERY successful type of thing. Many athletets, human and not, have it. It is not another cronic thing in your life. Love to you. Glad your knee is not broken.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Dear Carol, Yes that my knee can be fixed and won't be a cronic condition is great. I see the orthopedic surgeon at 10:30 today so will know more then. He knows more then the ER Md. I also want to wish you the very best this week and I will be thinking about you all day. I hope your recovery is quick and you will be home in your great bed soon. What time are you going? Need to get ready for my appoinment. The 5 minutes shower is history right now. Probably an hour to get ready. Talk to you soon. Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
