Re: Surgery tips? (input)

Connie H,

I had 2 surgeries on my tennis elbow and no tube in throat. But I didn't think of this when I had my galbladder out and thankful nothing happened with my trach. My second operation on my arm they removed some bone spurs from elbow. I was told this could cause a flare up but was lucky again. LOL I'm wondering if I am like a cat with 9 lives only have 9 luckies instead.LOL Guess I had better count all my LUCKIES up and see how many more I have. LOL

Not sure if you will cough during surgery or not but I know you will want a pillow on your stomach if you cough after it. I needed one and it still hurt. I had mine on Tues. and Sat. I was released and that night I went out and fed my 4 horses. You have to move around or you will take longer to heal. Make sure you laugh very carefully sense that is your best med. LOLHope all goes well for you.

LOve ya Sally

Wow, Sally :-0 You fed your horses right after your surgery? you've

given me a needed boost here :-) (gee, and I was ready to have my

family wait on me hand and foot LOL) I'll be sure to follow the

great advice from this group.....and laugh often, but carefully :-)

I hope you are doing well, take care,

Connie H
