Hi everyone , I am having real probs getting to grips with the site, anyway, I am 5 days post op, I had problems after surgery with a partial collapsed right lung. Low blood pressure also. Well I went to theatre around 8am and only left recovery after 9pm when I had been made stable, I was sent to HDU, spent Thursday there and went home on Thursday night, well we went to the travel lodge and I was going to rest up overnight, my other half went to get me some juice , while he was out the lipping fire alarm went off n the building had to be evacuated. Omg I was three stairways up and no lifts trying to manage down the stairs wth our Mollie lol. Outside freezing cold no slippers on , within ten mins we all had to go in again. Well I slept until 3 am was too sore n just wanted to go home, quite an experience. Well it was the most painful car journey ever. I felt every bump in the road. Had to stop about six times. Well sat I had impacted bowel, doc came out, was ment to be a nurse come to give a dreaded enema, we waited all day n no one came, apparently no one give them the message! Meanwhile I had been in agony. Well it's day five n I went out a short walk today. Still painful, lots of bruising. But I am on the recovery road. Sorry it's soooo loooooong a message guys but I thought I should fill you in on things. As for Luton n Dunstable, they were so amazing, taking great care of me. My surgeon nd anaesthetist stayed right up till I was made stable, I can't remember much after weakening up as I passed out ,what flash backs I do have we're not nice cos I couldn't breathe. But onward and upward guys, I am not going to lie about my experience after surgery as I do believe in speaking the truth. Thinking of all you guys, onward and upwards xxxxx
