Anyone left to recover alone?

For those of you home... Keep your phone handy - I am sure one of us here can come rescue you if you get into trouble and really need help!!!

I had no problems once I got home, I had trouble getting out of the recliner the first day, but after that, I was good to go.  By day three, I was wishing everyone would go away and quit asking me if i needed anything... LOL

What's your number Angie, I'll put you on speed dial. LOL j/k

Seriously, I don't know how much I'll be able to sleep and sit for recovery. Ususally I'm only good for one, maybe two, days at most. I get back aches and very cranky when I have too much 'down' time.  I always find a way to get up and do something.  God, I'm a surgeon's nightmare huh? lol

 I will keep my phone on my hip......so if I call you to take the kids away are you coming?????? LOL.

Luvbunnie we are having surgery the same day! Maybe I will see you there.

Wow!!! What time is your surgery? Mine is at 745 have to be there at 545. Is yours outpatient or overnight?

Oh heck mine isn't until 1:45. Darn. I assume I will be outpatient. I have to get a hernia repair as well, but I assume I can still go home, at least I hope I can.

I wish you the best of luck with you surgery and a speedy recovery!!!!!!!!!!!! I will meet you on the losers bench!!!!!!!

Well, like Deb said, everyone's recovery is different.  BUT.............I had my surgery on a Tuesday, came home on a Thursday, walked around Target (complete with hair and makeup) on Friday, was at the mall on Saturday and went to the movies on Sunday!!!!  I actually started driving that Sunday - DVR says you can drive as long as you're not taking the pain meds.

Yes, you'll make it by yourself, but you won't be alone - we are just a phone call away.

You have a little bit of time - if you cook, maybe you can cook some things ahead of time, that way, the 16 year old can just reheat them for the younger kids.  Ge****er, Crystal Light, puddings, broth, jello and popsicles before you go into the hospital.  If you need something else, one of us can stop by and bring it to you.

Relax, it's going to be fine!

Hugs,

Tia

You guys are the absolute best anyone could ask for. I don't feel like I will be alone anymore. Tia I am going to do just what you suggested..........my daughter and I are going to cook some dinners together the weekend before surgery. She is a great cook but she is a teenage.....between the cell phone and the ipod she would buen the house down. LOL. I truely from the bottom of my heart thank you guys for being here for me on this roller coaster ride.....I can only imagine how much it will get after surgery....but I am hanging on for the ride.

Luvbunnie, I doont know you well but I am willing to help you in any way I can.. Just call me I will PM you my numbers or just post that you need help.... I am here for you no problem. I hate for you to feel alone...We are all here online too....
