That seems quick to be home Sylvi. Do take good care, recovery is often the mainstay of a successful op so no overdoing things. I know you find it hard but I really think this time it's necessary. Much love to you. x

What advice have you been given after such a swift discharge? Sorry to hear it was worse than you expected. Surgery is a trauma to the body so if the hospital won't nurse you, I trust you'll nurse yourself! Take care.

sylvi profile image
sylviβ€’ in reply toWitness2

I have to walk several times a day even if it is just up and down the close.Not to get too stiff by sitting in one spot all day. Rest and no Heavy lifting which to me means no gardening.xxxxxx

I'm so pleased you are home, take care and just enjoy your garden, not work in it!!! Hugs x

Witness2 profile image

No gardening will be your greatest challenge then! I remind myself not to do things (sometimes!) by thinking: 'Just because I can doesn't mean that I should'. I usually forget activities that have caused pain and only remember when I've hurt myself. You're probably more sensible!

sylvi profile image
sylviβ€’ in reply toWitness2

I don't know about that,but gardening is out unless i am out there with my camera. I have a job getting comfy though.xxxx

I know Craig and to be honest i have no inclination to do anything. I want to be as well as i can be and i am not going to do anything to spoil that.xxxxx

good girl lol xxx your not alone my surgical team want to fuse the mid foot section of BOTH my feet!! as a little bit of of a fun. apparently this will help with me walking like Quasimodo and shouting out THE BELLS,THE BELLS !! XXX this wonderful idea will take around 18months from start to finish .

sylvi profile image
sylviβ€’ in reply tocraigsif

Your feet must be bad the Craig. My next surgery is on my hammer toes and i see the surgeon for that next month when he will put me on the list. Then we are talking a three month wait so that gives me time to recover from this lot of surgery i have had.xxxxxx

Hi Sylvi.

So sorry I havent been in touch,seemed to have lost this forum altho others still on there.Managed to get back in it now but I suspect it was operator error ie me.

Good to hear you are home following your op,but you must obey their advice and cut out the heavy stuff and dont overdo it -- I know what you're like,

Please take care,do your daily exercises and get well soon.

Sending very best wishes for a speedy recovery.

You know me so well darling,i seem to have overdone the walking and i have paid for it since Saturday,yesterday was quite bad. This morning i am having the clips out this morning and i will speak to my nurse and see what she has to say and she might even get my dr in to look at me.xxxxx

I am i promise you that as the pain before the surgery was getting so bad i could hardly move. This pain is completely different it is a healing pain if you know what i mean.xxxx

Crusee profile image
Cruseeβ€’ in reply tosylvi

I know what you mean but a pain is still a pain.Its your bodys protection mechanism and warning sign.If you are in pain then stop so you don't do yourself any damage.
