Anita/Re: Questions regarding Lafort

[Guest guest]

Anita,

I had the urine catheter in until around noon the second day. I

like Cammie had a male nurse that removed it along with the

breathing & stomach tubes. It really didn't bother me at all to

have them removed. It was nice having the urine tube because I

didn't even have to bother for 24 hours to get out of bed.

Yes, if your daughter is modest, then I would recommend a female

nurse for her. My male nurse really did a great job, and the only

time I felt awkward was when I had to expose my rear for a nice

shot. I kind of wonder now what that shot was for, at the time I

was out of it to even care.

I had a Lefort 3-piece on June 28th and my swelling is almost

completely gone. Being that your daughter is quite a bit younger

than me, I am sure she will recover rather quickly. I wouldn't be

surprised if by the second week she is up and about with her

friends. I was out and about at 2 weeks post op!

Anyway, best of luck to your daughter & you!!
