faddiscc4 13 Posted April 1, 2012 Congrats Carly! I had no catheter, thank God. But when I woke up after surgery I was automatically hooked up to delauded<(sp) intravenously that I had control of with a push button. Good luck! You will be back home before you know it.

Carly 56 Posted April 1, 2012 Thank all, &Courtney, They just got me up to walk around. Not so great with the catheter, but it's ok. Still no need for morphine- thank God. I was a bit nauseated a couple of times, but they gave me some med and it dissipated. I thought the morphine might make me dizzy and sick, so I didn't take it and frankly, haven't needed to.

twoboysandagirl 109 Posted April 1, 2012 Welcome to the losers bench...glad you made it. Keep walking, they should take the cath out when they are confident you can get up and go to the bathroom on your own. Look forward to more posts about your progress.
