Hey hey boardies
Here I am again , me and my new butt ....
Thanks all for your well wishes and support
Here is my new thread – MY LIS THREAD !!
Yesterday was such a long day - surgery was delayed because of complications with another case 2 people got cancelled thank god it wasn’t me !
I was taken down at 1pm back and compos mentis by 2.30 telling the nurses how much I loved them and how I needed some methadone for the pain I think I meant morphine , I was given paracemotol which did take the edge off, my doc said that was good he said he was testing my pain he gave me more to take home and some voltarol if things got intense , the nurse said before I left to stick with voltarol as it also helps fight infection too I had one tab lastnight and slept like a baby..
Sooooooooo the day after the nightmare before – I am pleased to tell you all that I feel GREAT considering the colouring of my toosh I have felt no need for painkillers but I have taken parcetomol for the swelling and I will take another voltarol later but not for the pain, I have some hardcore bruising at my left side its all black down south but the pain today is more discomfort which is all external I don’t feel anything inside – I have been for my poopy doos twice this morning and didn’t have any pain and most important no tight feeling , I think it is the thought more than anything that is scary after such surgery…
My husband has been such a star throughout this and helped to take off the bandages lastnight he was the first to see the aftermath , he even cleaned me up last night I mean that is true love isn’t it !
I have a problem today and that is keeping the area clean and free of poop because it is very sore even to dab with tissues after I have been , what I did was jump into the tub and swirled some water round about but that did help in removing the yukkys , it is very tender even to use the shower head so carefully using cotton buds and such to make sure the area is clean !
Any tipes here would be appreciated …
Also you LIS people – airhead icon here but did you have this bruising too ?
Many funny coincidences yesterday starting when I woke put on the radio and heard spaceman at the hospital I started to read twilight and the lady opposite me was reading the same book – her name was Patricia !
Another lady called Ina she was so funny , put an M in front and well….
I thought of Tamara when I woke and that thought of do not clench my muscles – I could imagine the pain it would have caused you
I also used Kims famous quote – I feel like a cherry bomb has gone off in my ass ! I think the nurses and doctors found me highly entertaining
Almost a little sign in itself having our pinky home safe and sound – I skimmed your post and I am glad to hear things ARE improving – you did it girl !
I need to rest my friends – my usual pc position isn’t happening and I am more comfy on my side with a pillow between my legs – that helps :roll:
I have been reading all the posts but its so tricky typing on one side !
Dazzy – Thanks buddy for your well wishes – I hope the movicol will help and if you need any please let me know I can get some to you Ok – try my diet - lentil soup, porridge, oatcakes and weetabix - Hang in there
Tamara please continue to update we want to hear you doing well really we do
Corsi – it’s all going to be Ok sweetie …..
Thanks my buddies for all your prayers and thinking of me
