rabrijumo 140 Posted September 25, 2012 Hey guys my surgery is in less than 12 hours but got to be there at 5:30 I'm super nervous I think it wouldn't be so bad but my families worries always worry me. Rachel, what time is your surgery? I to have to be at the hospital at 530 for a 730 surgery. My son and I are leaving at 430 am just to be sure we get there on time. I am packed but I still have tremendous pain from my SI joint injury. good thing is walking helps so I am motivated to get up for two reasons and all the pain is distracting me from any worry or fear. I have been on clears all day and actually feel a bit hungry but all I am having is another Popsicle. Good night my friends good luck to all my surgery sistas Remember sip sip sip walk walk walk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ciaobella 76 Posted September 25, 2012 Back to reality (work) tomorrow. I will be 15 days post op tomorrow. Thankfully, I work from home a few days a week, but the days I go to the office means a 1.5 hour commute. I have been so tired...no, exhausted the last few days. Went to a wedding Saturday night and my son's soccer game on Sunday, and I just haven't bounced back as quickly as before. I need to start working out, but just don't know where the energy is going to come from. I got tired shaking the pepper shaker tonight while making dinner! LOL Anyway, hope all goes well for those of you having surgery tomorrow. Praying for safe surgeries and speedy recoveries. As I've said, for me, the first 24 hours were the worst. Just know that you will feel much better after 48 then 72 hours! Just hang in there!! See you on the other side! 1 4Kimmy2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goddessblaze 98 Posted September 25, 2012 First day back to work today. It was too soon... The ripping pain in my left side is still there' date=' thank goodness for the belly wrap that my husband bought me at Walmart. I was in the ER this past Friday for the pains that won't go away in my side. They did a CT and sent me away saying "we dont know why you are in such pain" apparently no infection or obvious issues. It is so frustrating not knowing why i hurt so bad.. [/quote'] Gas, also if you are bending dOwn at all or lifting more than 5 lbs. My Dr took me back to Clear Liquids because of my pain and bed rest for 3 days cuz I was loading the dish washer and washing clothes he said it was to much. Hope you feel better soon.

berniec 166 Posted September 25, 2012 so' date=' i finally called my dr today, the 1st thing out of his mouth is :hello pinky" (my hair is Hot pink)lol, well it was about the leftside pain as it last about 2 hrs, he put me back on clear liquids... I wanted to start crying right there on the phone, he said if the pain doesnt resolve after clear liquids and and enema I have to go back to the hospital. WTF, he asked what i had been doing around the house and I told him, emptying the garbage, loading the dishwasher and washing clothes, he said NO. NO, NO... that is why your in so much pain you are not to be doing anything for at least 2 weeks.. well hell then, tell my husband and 17 yr son that mom needs a maid.. sucks that we are moving into our new house on BASE on Thursday thank go for TMO they are going to pack everything in our house.. I really dont want to go back to the hospital. I am better working at one than being a pt ...lol. well my prayers and well wishes to everyone this week that is having surgery and everyone that is healing I hope and pray for a healing and speedy recovery.. have a blessed week...[/quote'] Pinky you better follow the doctors orders an sit down somewhere. I'm sure your son and husband will take care of everything. Like most women we like things done a certain way. For now you need to let them help you out.
