Quote from: PerfectBody on May 17, 2021, 04:57:46 AMGlad to see you’re mobile and able to help yourself to the bathroom man. It’s day 2(?) for me and I’m wildly depressed at my situation and decision to do this stupid surgery. I hope this regret is temporary.
I have a question - how much does your wife assist you with mobility and exercises? I’m worried I’m not using my legs enough
Trust me I was exactly the same, the days go by so slow. Ive only been here literally four days and I could swear it feels like I’ve been here for at least 2 weeks. It’s terrible but you’re halfway their and every day you will feel better. My wife doesn’t really help with exercises or anything except helping stand up and sit down the first few days. Today I actually got up and sat down myself.
When I woke up I had very irritated bowel. I only had my wife help me sit on the toilet, there bidets remind me of my house very helpful. Do not take any laxative or softener trust me, I’ve had 3 bowel movements in the past 24 hours soft stool. I was able to get off the toilet by myself without much pain which is huge improvement because yesterday I had 7-8/10 pain getting off even with my wife helping me. If your recovery isn’t great the first few days it shouldn’t matter after the first week you should still be making fine progress. It could just be an age thing, try to walk when you can because it helps blood circulation
I get discharged today at 4pm, I was hoping to around 1-2pm but at least it’s today. Really happy about that. I’m only 4 days post op and recovering pretty quickly hopefully I won’t run into any obstacles god willing. It’s gonna take a lot of patience to finish this up.
My biggest complaint now is actually that every time I make a bowel movement it relieves me a lot but after laying down for a little I get some of that feeling again that I need to go. I went under an hour ago and now I feel the need to go again
I’m just counting down the hours till I can finally leave
