Surgery Number 2!

Well i am now 2 weeks post op from my 2nd surgery to create a Permanent Iliestomy, as for how i am going i feel that i am GREAT was only in hospital for 5 days, but after being discharged things started happening too me like my entire body swelling to 2 sizes bigger than what i really am, and my feet ankles and legs where like water melons, at one stage i couldnt feel my feet they hurt that much and i also had a constant tingle feeling in them:( i went to the local ED department and they didnt think it was urgent so i went home, within a few days it went down, as for my body its slowly getting back to its normal size. (Thanks God) =) as for the rest of my health i had the staples removed all 32 of them on monday and it didnt hurt as much as i was expecting unlike it did last time. Pain wise i dont have alot in the stomach unless ive over done myself ot try to bend down, as for pain in the Butt oh yeah it hurts i have my trusty pillow to sit on so that comes everywhere with me. so all in all i think i am going fine, i have registered myself with temp work again so right now i am sitting at work, doing reception fill in for 5 hrs while the company enjoy there Christmas lunch, lets see how many come back drunk! =)



Well if i dont post before i hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hi Wookie - lovely to hear that you are now doing well and feel able to do a bit of work! Take care though, you are only 2 weeks post op and your body will take some time to get over the surgery - please watch with the bending and lifting things - don't want to be getting yourself a hernia!

Great news though! Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New year ....

Hi dear Wookie - little miss inspiration!



Rach is right. Take it easy and watch the bending/lifting -- you don't want a hernia. I thought I was being very careful and I've got a little one developing.



Did they remove your rectum as well ... so that you have a Barbie Butt

Merry Christmas!

Cheers Wookie!!!



It sounds like your body has been through quite a bit of stress in the last little while!



I'm sure I don't need to tell you to take it easy at all times! Give your body time to rest and readjust itself to the changes that have taken place recently. Even if you feel mentally energized and healthy, your body might beg to differ, so give it the consideration it deserves.
