Home safely
Jun. 5th, 2007 08:03 pmWe're back from the hospital. Surgery went smoothly in the predicted amount of time. Peg seemed surprised at the amount of nausea and pain post-op. We stayed at the hospital about three hours before she figured out they would keep her overnight if she didn't start making preparations to leave, and she didn't want that to happen. We got her home and poured her into bed. She woke up for broth and the next round of pain meds and made me tell everyone how she's doing. She thanks you all for your support and will probably post for herself tomorrow morning.

Date: 2007-06-06 04:42 am (UTC)The times I have had general anaesthesia, it has totally knocked me on my ass. I've felt much better the next day, after fully sleeping it off.
Didn't do gallstones --
Date: 2007-06-06 06:57 am (UTC)1) Your shoulder will probably hurt a LOT -- the gas pushes up that way, and
2) Walking does seem to get rid of the gas faster. You don't have to go nuts with it, just try to walk a bit morning and evening.
Sending you healing thoughts!

Well, yes, pre-op she seemed to think she'd be biking around the Lakes post-op within 48 hours. ;-) Get her out on the porch ASAP and let the Doing Nothing commence!

Date: 2007-06-06 01:40 pm (UTC)I think people are always surprised by that. Thanks for taking good care o'her, Rob.
