Fifth day post op



Recommended Posts

So many different challenges last night i got discharged from hospital and boy was that hard. I got a hight raised toilet to not strain since its low . Getting up from bed has been painful due to the staples and coughing makes it worst. At the hospital we are told to pass gas witch then made my Hemorrhoids come out so its another discomfort. As for the food i am not hungry one bit and have been able to hold down my fluids follow up on TuesdayImage1506102078.694953.jpg hope this gets easier

It will get easier! Each day pretty much. I'm 2 weeks out & today was a LOT better. I'm short, so getting in & out of bed in the beginning was painful and challenging - I used a footstool, and this may sound crazy, but what works for me now is going in bed on my knees then carefully lower onto my side. Getting out, I scoot close to the side of bed and roll out. Walking has been a God send! Every day slowly increase. About 4 days or so out, I started short walks outside, holding on to someone's arm.

You've got the right attitude, one day at a time! :) I've got to share with you, looking at your picture, made me think about the 2 incisions in the middle - for some reason I reacted to the steri strips (just on those 2 incisions - very red at the end of them) my Dr. removed them at the 1 week follow up & it was worse than I thought, very sore, healing areas, and redness scattered more after. Thank God it's looking better, was concerning for awhile! That's great you're doing those walks!
