Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 hi everyone, Well I am home after surgery. I had it on the 17th. Everything went very well. The staff at the BTC were great and new what to do to make me comfortable. I was surprised with the iv fluids I gained 13 lbs. I was concerned about that, but on thursday after passing my " no-leak " test, they gave me a popsicle and juice and since I kept it down, the iv was removed. SO by time I left I had lost all 13 and was back to where I was. So I am home with good pain medicine. not eating more then a few bites of jello at a meal. But everyday feeling better. I have lost 9 lbs since coming home friday. So I think I am doing great. I start on full liquids tomorrow, looking forward to that. Jello is getting a little old. My hubby and family have been great. Hubby's been with me for every walk so far. Tonight will my first trip out there without him, cause he is back to work. But I am up to walking around the block, and feel pretty good afterward as long as I take my pain med about 1 hour before walking. So , so far so good.. I was a little urppy in the hospital. but been fine since I have been home. I will post more as I continue. I hope everyone that was due to have the surgery around now is doing good. take care Vicki 298/289/??? vickip@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
