Well, It's about time I'm able to up date my surgery page :) I was JUST released from the hospital Mon. AGAIN:( On Halloween morning my surgery went off without a hitch.woke up in my private room. Not the most comfortable surgery I've ever had but bearable. Had a few problems in the hospital with trying to find a vein to draw blood & set up IV's but I got through all that. was sent home Sat. morning. By Sun. & Mon. night I was in the worst pain of my life. Come Tue. morning at my post-op appointment. My Dr. put me back into the hospital because I had developed phunemonia (excuse the spelling) I'm sure I was one of the worst patients on the 6th floor for about 3 days & nights. I was a very sick puppy!! I got to feeling better in about 3days. wanted to go home but I was having alot of drainage from my surgery site & the Dr. wanted to get a culture. So I didn't get released till Mon. morning the 11th. Now I'm doing alot better but I'm still draining alot from the surgery area. my daughter changes bandages twice a day. Today I started the full liquids stage. The biggest problem I'm having is SEVER LEG CRAMPS I can't believe how bad they hurt. I need more Potassium in my system I think. It will clear up I'm sure. Well this is all for now hope all my Halloween surgery buddies are having a speedy recovery. well it's back to WALK WALK WALK DRINK DRINK DRINK !!! :) :) :)

Hello everyone:) I'm happy happy happy:) everything is a GO for HALLOWEEN surgery day. I did all my pre-op stuff at the hospital today. I need to share a little (yet, embarrassing) story of what happened today at the lab. I feel SOOOOOOO STUPID they asked for a urine sample quite normal, & I have had about 15 other surgeries so I know the routeen. I go into the bathroom, I sit the cup down, I tear open the litle cleaning towelet, I start to reach to wipe myself, & "DUH" I had just let myself go pee the whole time & I was through "SH*T" Now I can't pee anymore!!LMAO So I had to sit in the office waiting room drinking water water water for 1/2 hr. & finally I could go again. I guess you could say I must be nervous about the big day. Well, here's hoping for the best outcome & a great life ahead. Bless you all! more laters :)

Hi Debbie, Hi, fellow 52 yr old! Well, I turn 52 in a month anyway. Hey, CONGRATS on not having long to wait for your surgery! It's right around the corner and you will start your new life! You can do this! It's a little scarey but life the way we are now is scarey too, with the co-morbidities. I am sending a special prayer for God to guide your surgeons hand and hold your hand as well. And remember, you are not alone, we are here for you! BIG HUG! Carol Percel
