Surgery's over and I'm feeling better than I thought I would!
May 17, 2010
Well, I had my surgery on Tuesday (5/11) and it went well. I was Dr. Houston's first case so I was in my room by 11 am. My belly hurt really bad but I got some really good pain medicine to help me through the rough spots. I got up that night and walked in the halls twice with my very supportive friends. The incentive spirometer was a chore, but very necessary!! I was able to have my urinary catheter out early the next morning and when Dr. Houston came in he said I could have water that morning and clears starting in the afternoon. Tolerated the water and clears well. I walked, walked, walked, and the abdominal soreness got better. When the Doc came in Thursday afternoon he told me I could go home!! Went to a friends place to recover until Sunday and came home. Today my walking buddy and I were able to do 3/4 of our walk. I'm tired but overall feel well. Tolerating Syntrax protein but it's getting old! Getting in my 64 oz of fluid (variety is key).Just wanted to share some of my surgery experience so far. I am happy I did it! And very happy I chose Dr. Houston!!
