feeling better after surgery

dawnie

I had my surgery last tuesday. I was out of surgery and awake at 11am but i was real nausea,they gave me some medicine and it didnt help kept getting sick,by 3:00 i said lets go home,still not feeling good.

Got home still sick,wed we went to the er,got some medicine and fluids felt ok,then worse during the night,back to the er on thursday,got more fluids and medicine and they admitted me.

went to the restroom at 8am thursday and at 5am friday and after 4 bags of fluid i went to the restroom again.

got discharged friday afternoon and have been feeling better ever since,eating and drinking again.

had my one week check up yesterday and the toe is healing up just fine,sutures come out in two weeks,no more home health nurse and the picc line will come out in two weeks also,woohoo

this has really been hard but thanks to Nunn and my great doctor and my great bestie i am getting through it.

no weight on the foot for 4-6 weeks due to removal of bone for the replacemnt,and then another 24weeks for total healing time.

thanks for all the prayers and get wells

Prayers asked and best wishes to you. I have had foot surgery before but no where as bad as yours is. I was glad i had it done though. Get better soon. David

My foot surgery took FOREVER to heal up - hope Yours goes faster!

Great to hear you are on the mend.

Dawnie,

Six months before you'll be able to give Nunn the boot? What a shame![;)]

In all seriousness this probably isn't too high a price to pay as your little stubbed toe may well have saved your entire leg or possibly your life.

Take good care of yourself. Be patient. Give Nunn a break from time to time as he's a pretty good guy.

Doc

Sounds like quite an ordeal. Glad you're doing better.

I am so thankful that i stubbed my toe when I did. I couldnt imagine it being worse then it is.

but its kind of funny.I am bandage from the feet to the knee and I have a splint to protect the heel bone,,so it looks like i had a big thing done and when I tell people its only the big toe and they see my whole leg wrapped its like ooooooh really

Then they must have never stubbed their big toe bad. Broke my little toe when I was real young. Never did see a Doc so it sits sideways and that thing if I walk a lot hurts. So from that and stubbing my big toe to the point I was crying. I feel for you.

Good to hear that you're feeling better and on the mend.

I feel for you and all you have dealt with this past few weeks. You have those gorgeous babies to cheer you through all of this! I am sure you are taking all of this a lot better than I would. I do not handle being "down" very well.

It sure is good to hear you are healing up and coming closer to the end of this whole thing.

Good luck!
