[QUAD-L] Surgery
Well I did it. I had surgery on my hemorrhoids Monday. They didn't do a spinal block...just sedation and local anesthetic. They kept me for observation overnight and I came home Tuesday afternoon. All was good until I came home. I got nauseated on the way home so I ate some soup and took a phenagran. I went to bed at 4 and it was a rough evening and night. I was sick to my stomach and sweated my rear off all night. I really wanted to die and should've called 911 to go back to the hospital. Should've stayed an extra day. I rested all day Wednesday but was up in my chair all day Thursday and Friday. Still taking pain meds but went 9 hours yesterday in between doses. The surgeon said not to do bowel program for at least a week...I feel like a fat cow. Taking Miralax and praying I'll go when I'm on my shower chair. On a lighter note and something only quads can appreciate..I've passed gas w/out bending over or pushing on my rear..it was a joyful noise...lol I guess there's no roadblocks anymore J now if I can just go to the bathroom!

RE: [QUAD-L] Surgery
I wish you all the best of luck. I do know what you are going through and remember , don't push. Now, back to the greens and the mirilax. Don't forget protein. It's great for helping the body to heal. I hope you recover and enjoy Christmas and the all of the holidays.

RE: [QUAD-L] Surgery
I have to limit greens because I’m on blood thinner but have been trying to eat more protein. I tend to heal quickly so that is a plus. Dr said I would want to choke him after first few bowel movements……lol! I may eat a bunch of grapes tomorrow……that seems to always cause me accidents. My follow-up is Tuesday so I’m hoping I do something before then J Merry Christmas to you!
