So I did it. I broke down this morning and called my surgeon and he answered the phone!!! He was in over the holiday weekend doing paperwork, so he says they will call back Monday for a date of Thursday or Friday the 2nd or 3rd of next week. I was in such excruciating pain yesterday, I just couldn't stand it anymore and after reading everyone's posts, I'm gonna go for it. And hopefully *recover* before Christmas and not get worse as I seem to be doing now.
I'll just have to arrange rides for my kids to and from school for the next 2 or 3 weeks, I guess. I've tried retraining my bowels, but it just seems to loooove the morning poop!
I know it's just twilight surgery with a local, so I'm not stressed about that at all (I actually was a nurse for many years) but the recovery is what worries me, I don't want an infection of course or to be in horendous pain, but I guess I am anyway. At least with that pain, I'll be "recovering".
And gas isn't something I'm looking forward to especially with my inlaws here, but I guess that's how it goes. Maybe.
One more question: so how long until I can drive??? This is the million dollar question, I need to get my kids to school and back.
Any more post op suggestions????
THANK YOU all!!!!!!
