Hi. I'm Dawn

[RNYDawn 160]

Hi guys, thanks for checking on me! I had surgery in 2/17! I was in the hospital for 2 nights and have been home now for 2.5 days.

Biggest hurdle in hospital was the transition from IV pain meds to oral pain meds. Way less potent and tasted gross but definitely still needed.

I haven't had too much trouble at home...gas moved out after a night of cramps, I'm moving around better each day, and even took a little walk outside today. I'm able to get my Water & Protein in with no problems so I'm very thankful for that.

Hi Dawn! So glad to hear from you and to know all is good with you! Did you stay with the bypass? How is your pain? Are you able to move much? Glad your home!

Yes, I had bypass pain is manageable! Left side hurts the most & especially after standing or sitting up for more than 10 minutes or so. I take a small walk every day and have to use the bathroom frequently so I'm up & down stairs a lot too. Bending over is the worst so I try very hard to limit it! ️

@@NewLife1985 thank you so much!

Wonder what it is with the left side that causes pain and so much discomfort. I've heard this by a few others as well. Interesting.

Baby steps. I think your doing great so far! Stinks bending is the worst. I have a paralyzed dog that I need to bend over to manually express to pee 3x a day! This is gonna be very interesting. My biggest concern about me doing this!

My surgeon told me it is because that incision was where he did the most manipulation. None of my other incisions hurt at ALL. Just that one! You could use a walking stick or cane to help you ease yourself to sitting or kneeling to help your dog or you may even find that you can bend just fine. I'd definitely have a backup plan just in case
