one week post op today - question
Well, it's one week today. Yesterday was a rough day emotionally. I don't know why, but I had my first post op visit and my JP drainage tube was removed...yay! I started talking with the RN as she asked me if I was getting in everything and I just started bawling. What was that about? Admittedly, I've been very overwhelmed by all the rules. I devised a chart I finished yesterday and it has everthing on one page. Very helpful to me as I am very detail oriented. I woke up today feeling much better. BUT, when I went to the bathroom, I say some fresh blood. I wondered if I had a bladder infection. Two hours later, I go again and wipe and it's like I have my period. (Sorry men....), but I had a hysterectomy 10 yrs ago. and upon double checking realize that it is rectal bleeding. I put on a pad, but nothing was on my undies yet and called the clinic and they said someone would get back to me. An hr. later I have to have a BM which we all know is diarrhea at this point. Still more fresh blood noted. Clinic called back and we'll keep an eye on it. Has this happened to anyone else??
