Why
well i'm posting again to clear up my last post i guess...as far as the surgery goes, the dr sure did sugarcoat things a bit.....as far as the morphine after surgery--was allergic to it and stopped breathing, so therefore didnt get adequate pain management until 4 hr after surgery was over--demerol shot....was catheterized for 24 hrs so couldnt get out of bed after surgery....got cath out day after surgery, hadnt gotten up out of bed yet, dr came in and asked if i wanted to stay another night--yes!...ate lunch, emptied bladder, got washed up, went for walk..was informed during my walk that i was to go pack my bags cause i was going home--what??, but i thought...?..nope, gotta go!....put on pjs-clothes didnt fit due to SWELLING!!--and left...came home, felt fine..took darvocet for pain...felt awful while taking it...walked 2x/day..SWELLED UP!!...by the 4th day i was feeling like mess!..couldnt empty bladder properly..called dr on sunday, got meds..tuesday (today) still didnt feel well..went to dr, had to see nurse practitioner (havent seen my dr since right before surgery mind you)...seems i have a pretty bad bladder/urinary tract infection..nurse wanted to cath me--heck no!...changed my antibiotic to Cipro..said i should be feeling better within 24 hrs or so...I SURE HOPE SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!.i'm very discouraged..wondering now why i did this to myself...mad at my dr cause i havent seen or heard from him, etc etc etc...the list goes on...very down in the dumps!!............just got back from a walk (3 blocks) and now have the SWOLLEN BELLY again!...is it gonna get better????????...i'd like to know when?...i really dont want to start feeling sorry for myself, however i'm getting to that point.............
