Hello,
I had my right kidney which had a big lesion on it removed last Thursday. I am still in hosptial feeling really frustrated! They turned off my epidural on Saturday and the pain since has been really difficult and I feel really helpless with it all! I really really want to go home as being in the hosptial isn't helping! I can barely get any sleep and I feel a burden on the staff here! The nights are definitely the worse. The doctor has told me that I need to be more mobile before I can go. Which I have read lots about and didnt expect for it to take me this long to get mobile! Anyone have any advice on how yo get out of bed without it being extremely painful? Im really struggling to find the strength to push myself up! Once im up and walking its starting to feel a bit more manageable but its just that initial pushing up.... and is high level of pain normal to? Just hard to know what is normal at the moment. Definitely feeling over emotional with it all today as now on day 6 of being in hospital and every before said you are young (35) fit and healthy you'll bounce back quickly and wont need to be in hospital more than a couple of days.....which has been quite the opposite!
