advice after surgery

Hi

Thank you for replying, I am pleased to hear you are through both ops ok.

i have just got a V pillow and I am getting on better with that , so thanks.

i feel ok today about things, I think I was just tired from no sleep that I just started to panic  about the next step but going to take it one step at a time and just wait for the results and go from there.

Take care.

Hi

Glad to hear you are through both ops now and hope you are ok.

When I first came out of hospital I did panic and think that I could not do this again but now a few days in it is getting less painful so I know that if I have to then it will be ok.

Thanks again

Hi Lousie,

Oh I know, it's so easy to start panicking when you are tired, your mind is racing, and you're not sure if everything is healing as it should be. I'm really glad you're feeling a bit better today - just remember that it WILL get better each day and you'll be more comfortable. 

I found my throat is a little tighter the past couple of days as it's healing. Have had a little reflux and a little bit swollen right above the scar in the middle of my throat, too but nothing unmanageable. Not sure how yours was closed up but I have glue on the incision which has been great. It really sucks that we may have to have another surgery but there's always a chance that we won't! I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for us both ;)

Hi, I hope you are starting to feel better. The issue I had was getting out of bed if I lay horizontal without my head raised. I live on my own and almost had to call 999 as I got stuck in bed, after some time, I managed to roll out. At the start I couldn’t lift a glass of water, but you quickly regain everything. just needs a little time to heal.
