Had my keyhole surgery if oartial nephrectomy on Monday and was out of hospital the next day. All appears to have gone well and now to focus on recovery.
Battered and bruised on the outside and wondering what on earth is going on inside. Day by day I can aleady do more for myself but I don't want to over do it.
Feeling disconnected from reality.....weird.
Hi Biker
I am pleased to hear that all appears to have gone well with your surgery and that you are now recovering at home.
I think it is normal to feel a bit battered and bruised after surgery and doing a little more each day but being aware of not overdoing things is a good plan.
My own cancer was different to yours so I hope that it is ok to reply. By doing so it will bump your post and hopefully someone who has had similar surgery will see it and be able to offer further support. In the meantime do give the Support Line a call if you feel like talking things through would help.
I also had keyhole surgery and remember my consultant saying that the surgery on the inside was still the same and it was normal to feel a bit battered and bruised. I also remember feeling a bit strange for a few days after mine. I think a mixture of the anaesthetic and the relief that the surgery had happened and also a bit of a feeling of being overwhelmed that it all happened so quickly.
I wish you well with your continued recovery and please do get in touch if there is anything that you need.
Jane
