Day 2

[SPI Tortuga 1]

I'm in the hospital 24 hours after surgery and thinking, this is a great place to air concerns and questions! We are blessed to have it. I know that the next days and weeks will be challenging, but I'd rather have that than a shortened life at the end. They took two cysts from my liver and sent them off to be evaluated. We will see what that brings and act on it if necessary. Thanks for having this board!!!

Hoping you will have a speedy recovery! Just wanted to let you know day 2 was definitely the roughest for me. I was really worried about getting my liquids down. I fought some nausea that day also. My surgeon came by before I went home and explained that the swelling would begin to subside the next day. Just knowing that made me feel so much better. He was right. Then next day I was able to get more fluids in (though not 64 yet), but I felt it went down easier.

As far as the liver cysts, try not to get too worked up over it, ok? I am a sonographer and my specialty is scanning cirrhotic livers. Of all the things I see, cysts are the least concerning. I am not a doctor obviously but just hope I can set your mind at ease a little. It's good that your doctor took care of that while he was in there, but usually they don't mess with them unless they are growing or pushing on vessels.

Hang in there and keep us updated!

Thanks for the words about the cysts, I've mostly been trying to keep the Fluid intake up. It seems that I can take more fluid now than before, and pain management has become like clockwork! I even got in my mom's car to go pick up my sin from red cross lifeguard training. He passed! Yay! Well, time for more happy juice!
