Kidney Surgery

[Robson Valley]

Greetings from the Other Side. Glad you made it out OK.
First couple of weeks can't be good. Just have to wait it out.
So happy to read the positive outcome.

Maybe +7 days of plain food? Then, I had a tuna fish sandwich. The best that I have ever eaten in my life.
I just knew I was gonna make it.

I think the light diet it to reduce the pain from post surgical constipation (which can hurt when you're middle bits have been cut). Once you are flowing again eat away or lock in the weight loss for a new look.

Glad to hear you are on the mend and came through the surgery ok. I'm sure you are feeling relief now that bit is over. Just take good care of yourself and make sure you are spoilt rotten for the next few weeks and you'll be fighting fit in no time at all.

Thanks again everybody. Barbara’s been spoiling me since I’ve been home and yes, it really does help make ale.

I think you’re correct. Also they told me the narcotics prescribed for pain control add to that constipation so that’s a double whammy.

They told me that too. The toilet pain got so bad i choose to forego the lovely opiate induced haze of Chris Evans dreams and focus on sorting out my bowls. So not what I wanted.

The first few days in the hospital were pretty painful so I took what they would give. Since I’ve been home (almost 48 hours) I’ve only had 3 doses of percoset with the last one being almost 24 hours ago and as of now I don’t feel any need for it. Once I was up and walking the pain began to disminish proporionately to my mobility.

Well today I went geocaching with Barbara. Wandering around in the sand dunes ay a local National Seashore (kinda like a National Forest but on the beaches) We found one cache and had a short hike of about a half mile (seems longer trudging through soft dunes) then a brief time playing in the surf. I guess my recovery’s coming along nicely
