reversal surgery today

Congrats! Glad it went well.

still on ng tube. will be off once i hae gas, so whomknows how long itll be. im glad there were fewer adhesioms and he said everything was stuck together. gbladder is out too.

if imwas like cement inside, hw would do te gb later. adhesions were nice and soft. since i had 3 other abdominal surgeries and 2 bouts with peritonitis, i am very lucky.

of course im driving the nurses nuts by constantly checking for distended stomach as my intestine broe after 4 days.

im up walking a lot with ease so i hope that helps.

That's great that you're up walking.... and I understand your anxiety, probably many of the nurses understand too.... keep on healing.

how are you feeling apart from the fever, how often do you potty about now?

i thinks the breathing. i was doing it 1x per hour, now every 10 min and my temp dropped to 98.9. good start.

now if i can aleep....

goodnight

Wow, that's so interesting, I didn't know you could get a fever from not doing the breathing thing.

I had this tube sort of thing I had to breathe into to make a little ping pong ball go up. It's to help recover from anesthesia. Not sure if it's the same thing Ryan has or not....

Glad the fever is gone, hope that holds.

Best of luck in your recovery And glad to hear about your adhesions! Yes, not doing my breathing exercises gave me a fever too. I then chose not to use the devise, I just took very deep breaths in through my nose, held, and exhaled through mouth. Performed every 10 minutes and fever reduced. Since I had a clot post op once, in the worst part by my liver, I made SURE I did this, even when I came home!
