Re: Second look Surgery results

[Guest guest]

The C-toma was gone so the doctor rebuilt my hearing and had to

replace two bones with prostesis ones. I was only in surgery for an

hour and a half. It was interesting the nurse had a hard time getting

an IV started but after one hour she got one in and then I was taken

into surgery after the lab came to draw another tube of blood. I am

still really tired and my pain medication is in affect so I am ready

to go to sleep. I had an interesting affect happen. I laid down with

an ice pack on my cheek to help with the swelling and immediately the

swelling increased and moved to my eye so I have a black eye that is

really swollen right now. I called the doctor and they had me come in

wednesday and checked the swelling and it is just a normal thing that

can happen occasionally when there is trauma to your head which I did

not know.

Shalynn...so glad it was gone! I hope you recover soon and

completely. Let us know how the reconstruction is working for you.

Good luck for a speedy recovery Shaylyn! My son will be having

reconstructive surgery in the future and I am wondering if you

require bed rest after surgery and for how long? I heard somewhere

that you need to be extra careful about moving around too much for up

to 6 weeks. Is this correct? Thanks - Dee
