I'm having surgery Thursday, please wish me luck

Hi guys!!! I'm so glad to be home! I feel very good considering and I've already been out for a little walk in the neighborhood (I stuck to flat areas).

Everyone that calls here is surprised to hear me answer and at how good I sound. I have yet to need any pain meds, didn't even use my morphine pump at the hospital but I had Richard fill my Percocet just in case. I know from past things I ususally feel worse on the third day. Right now I just feel like I've been punched in the gut, nothing serious.

My doc says the the surgery went great and he said I should be back to normal in a few weeks.

Thank you all for the prayers, good thoughts and well wishes. It means so much to me. :)

Hi Lori!! Hope all continues pain free.

Such encouraging news. So glad that all went well and that you are already starting to recover. This has been a week of concern. It's good to have things sort out this way. Makes for a much better weekend for all us worriers. Thanks for taking the time and energy to let us hear from you so soon.

Lori ... you just had your "innards" taken out ..... are you sure you should be going on a walk????? :eek:

I knew you would be okay! Just remember to take it easy, no matter how you feel, you did just have major surgery! NO LIFTING!!!!!!!! Please be careful, and just take care of yourself for a few more weeks!

Love ya,
Willie

Well aren't you something? :) This is terrific that you are doing so well. Don't overdo things!

Logan

wow what a woman
you
go
girl!

W :eek: W , now I know why you call yourself Jazzcat.!!!!

So very glad that you are up to taking walks and talking on the telephone~~~~ and~~~so very glad that you don't have to rely on Percocet!!! or that horrible Morphine!!!!! That stuff put me in La~La Land!!! I just can't stand to take any pain medication ( allergic reaction to all but Tylenol 3).


Adding my own Pet Talk Mothering here, Get your Rest and don't over do it!!!! ;)

I'm taking it easy today but I did take another short walk outside. The fresh air did wonders and the walking helps the rib-cracking gas pains. I even ventured out back to feed my two backyard kitty visitors. I was afraid the little female was pregnant but now I'm pretty sure she isn't.

I've been napping a lot and enjoying not having anything I have to do.

I have some lovely bruises on my stomach that now look like I've been punched severely but the pain is still not bad.

Thanks again everyone.

Lori, I'm glad to hear everything went okay with your surgery. I hope you continue to feel better and have a speedy recovery!

Lori, I'm so glad that you're feeling well and I hope that this will continue and you won't have to take any pain meds. Just remember to do as the doctor has ordered. Get well soon.

Popping in to see how you're doing. I hope you're feeling much better. If someone hasn't told you, get a pillow and hold it over your stomach when you're getting up and down. Does a remarkable job on making it less painful. It gets better every day, especially after the stitches are removed. If you have a recliner, sleep in that. I slept in mine for 5 weeks. Was so thankful for it. Get better soon!

How are you feeling, Lori? Hope you're continuing to have good recovery!!!! :)

Thanks Logan. I'm doing well. I had a great couple of first days and then got too fiesty yesterday and overdid it. I walked well over a half mile outside, water a few outside plants and cleaned the litterboxes (along with some kitty barf) last night and now today I am paying for it. I've done nothing but rest in the recliner today. I've been lectured by my family and now I know what "do nothing and recoup" means. I will behave now.

Aww, sweetie! Why is everyone's family always made up of such know-alls! :D :D
Glad you hear that you are behaving yourself now!
