Good morning

โ€ข19 Replies

Just a little update post op, feeling good , everything that needed to be taken was taken, everything straight forward and results in 2/3 weeks.

Everyone said day 2/3 the worst after op so waiting for that to kick in because I'm feeling great , tired but great ( maybe because of the drugs๐Ÿ˜‚)

Catheter coming out today so should be able to move about more , feel I could climb mountains ( again probably still the drugs๐Ÿ˜‚)

Actually may just go back to sleep for a bit , also the nurses are brilliant FACT!

Glad to hear you are feeling good, but take it easy. I felt like mountain climbing until they took out the catheter and epidural.....but it is better to be up and moving around even if you don't feel like it straight away

Hi Diane, its good to hear your feeling good. Glad to hear your pain control has been managed thus far. Be careful when you get up, don't go rushing, you might feel a bit dizzy. Take your time. Here's to an uncomplicated recovery. Ann xo

Hi Diane

Great you're feeling good this morning. Like previous posts take it easy when the effects of the epidural wear off

Glad everything went well and you are feeling good, just be a bit careful when the catheter comes out and you get up, although you feel good just take it easy no mountain climbing just yet ha ha xx

No mountain climbing this week - have lots of rest instead. :) When you get up, don't look down - was a good piece of advice given to me and walk slowly and as upright as you can. Hold on to your tummy if it helps. xx

Great you are feeling so good, but no mountain climbing for a while, unless its mountain climbing out of the bed. You are not supposed to lift any thing heavier than a cuppa for six weeks. But if you feel like walking up and down the ward or hospital corridor, it is good to get mobile.

Thanks ladies , walked to the loo on my own , took it nice and slow , feeling good , I promise not to climb any mountains ๐Ÿ˜‚

Wow, amazing that you are feeling so good after the operation. I hope it stays that way for you. Make sure you keep taking things easy even though you feel like climbing a mountain. Rest is the best for a better recovery. Really pleased for you everything has gone well.

Mandy, xx

Good to hear. You're healing now, that's got to be loads better than before. Don't ignore pain though and ask for meds to establish a control baseline before it gets worse. All the best.

I felt GREAT right after the surgery (no doubt the pain meds/anesthetic were still kicking in from the operation) and texted my family the same.. they thought I was mad :) . Dipped down a bit over the following days but even so, it's still good to be without the tumours.
