JustSewSimple Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 ok, Ladies and gents, I am home and it is done! Everything went as smoothly as a babies butt except recovery. They couldn't get me settled and couldn't get my pain under control. They had given me all I could have and then the Dr. thought of something else to try and it worked. I have been in the bed, of course, and my nurse, Mike, has been Heaven sent! He is such a doll. I did have a jolly nurse and we did get to laugh at lots of things! I belive laughter is always the best medicine. Tomorrow will be a test as Mike will go to work and I will be here alone. I am just so darned glad it is over. The Dr. said my gallbladder did have several stones in it although the HIDA scan did not show anything - only that it was working at 9%. Thank you for your throughts and prayers. I don't know what I'd do without you! Love you all, muchly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 So glad that you are recovering. Sorry they had a hard time getting your pain managed, that is no fun. Behave yourself when your nurse goes to work and don't overdo it. Sleep the day away if you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSewSimple Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Ok, so last night was NOT a piece O cake! Just plain ole pain! I have it under control this morning but am itching up a fog. If they could just take the itchy stuff out of the meds life would be so much better! And my neck is sore and a bit blue. I wonder if I said a little somthin a little off color and they tried to choke me???? If I live into my 80s, I'll bet I will be allergic to my Mike! Now that would be awful as he is my sweetie!

MastiffMomQlt Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 YEAH! Glad you're home & all went well. Now for some unsolicited advice from someone who has had that same surgery. Take your pain meds as directed & stay on top of your pain, do NOT try to 'tough through it' Also, take it easy & what they always say about vacuuming, driving & stairs is true, DON'T. My turn around time was 11 days. On Day 11, I was feeling quite well & caught up with my life again. Be gentle with yourself & allow yourself to heal. Good time to catch up on hand work & mags. Sending healing thoughts to you xo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachside Quilter Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Glad to hear you are home, Sylvia, and on your way to recovery! Sounds like good advice from Caren, and I'm sure your doctor has given you similar instructions. Do what the doc says and then you can get back on your feet, happily quilting, and your same, sweet self! ((hugs));) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Wishing you a speedy recovery, Sylvia! Listen to Caren, she knows of what she speaks! Lol! I had the same surgery and was in way too much of a hurry to get up and going, and then suffered because of my own impatience. Relax, wrap yourself in a quilt and read a book!

whitepinesquilter Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Sylvia, so sorry you've had a time of it with pain control but I hope it's getting much better.
