Updates from the "other" side
The hospital has no internet connection on this floor but my night nurse hooked me up awith her At&T air card for a few hours.
I awoke to find out I had severe endometriosis and they had to take both ovaries. I am not allowed up yet(not complaining about that!!) as I am hooked to leg massagers, a dilauded pump, a cath, and oxygen. Those will be removed in the a.m. and I should be going home sometime in the morning. I will post more when I get home but wanted to thank all who have supported me and sent lovely PT's too.

Re: My Bag Is Packed & My Bowel Is Prepped
Welcome to the other side Boodcrazy!
This is the surreal part. Are those leg massagers keeping you awake?

Re: My Bag Is Packed & My Bowel Is Prepped
The pain meds do weird things as well as reducing your pain.
You may not remember too much of the detail of this part. I was sat up in bed reading my bed and talking coherently. When I got to the end of my novel I had to admit to myself that I couldn't piece it together. That was because I couldn't recall the middle bit which I had read immediately post-op. I got double the value from it, because when I re-read it, it was as if I was doing so for the first time.
I hope you get some rest soon and that your body comes back from the anaesthetic comfortably.

Re: My Bag Is Packed & My Bowel Is Prepped
I had a lovely surprise before I left the hospital today. I got as visit from a Hyster Sister and her lovely daughter. They brought me a lovely card and an adorable bear from Build A Bear Workshop named Hyster Sister!! I can't tell you how touched I was by their visit. Thank you, Acts 1614 and daughter.

Re: Updates from the "other" side
Bookcrazy -
Welcome to the world of post-op.
I split off your post-op items and created you a brand new thread in the post-op forum.
We may end up merging this with your surgery sisters weekly thread but at least wanted you moved over to post-op.
Good luck with your recovery.

Re: Updates from the "other" side
No, they weren't offered to me. I would've loved to have kept them. Amazing little things!! Right now I wish I could've kept my catheter. Time for another shuffle to the bathroom.
