----------------------------------------------------------- From: liltrubin Message 2 in Discussion I just had my surgery 1 1/2 weeks ago. I have been told not to bend forward, pick anything up, lift anything heavier then a phone, I do let the dog out but I do not feed the dog as that would involve a lot of strain getting into the food...LOL!!!! I have not driven yet. My husband tends to my son and my son is 8. He tried to help out as much as possible. You also have to sleep at a 45 degree angle which is a pain in the butt. I have had a couple of sleepless nights. I would not be able to manage an infant nor would I be allowed to lift one. If I were you, yes, I would have someone full time. If I cannot lift anything heavier then a phone an infant is definitely out and you would not want to fall with your precious little one either!!!!! Good luck!!!!

I am having transphenoidal surgery to remove 1.3cm x 1.7cm pit tumor and I feel like I am going into it blind as far as the recovery. What can't I do, all they have told me is it will be 1-2 day inpatient recovery with a week - 2 week out of hospital recovery but I have 2 kids 1 being an infant and 2 dogs and I don't know if I need someone to stay full time with me? Can I drive? Can I function? Help! I feel lost. I could use the truth ablout the recovery. ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/PituitaryChat/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
