Guest guest Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Gosh Sue, I can't believe how quick you were in and out. Its amazing what they do now. Had my appendix out in 1985 and was in the hospital for eight days and ended up with an 9 inch incision. Appendix wasn't in the right spot and the surgeon didn't believe the doctor who actually saw it on laparoscopy a few weeks prior to this and ended up having to make a huge incision to find it. Was thrilled to pieces after my tummy tuck to find my appendix scar was gone. Had so many scars that were removed with the tummy tuck, now my husband won't be able to identify my body from surgical scars anymore. LOL Glad that you're doing well. Just take it easy for the next few days. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I can't hardly believe it either!! and good or bad...I'm going back to work tomorrow. Dr Fisher said no work for 7-10 days...but he made up our benefits book...and only gave us 3 sick days a year!!! So duh!! But at least I don't need a note from my doctor to come back to work. Besides, he's in surgery tomorrow so won't know I'm back. I'm thinking as long as I take it relatively easy...no carrying stacks of charts and limiting my ups and downs that I should be ok. And if I hurt or get tired...then I go home! Besides, I just got my surgery date for my hysterectomy. Yup, on November 21st I'll be joining the ranks of " women who wear white with impunity " That's my story and I'm sticking with it!!
