Re:Suggestions for Tethered Cord Surgery

[Guest guest]

I just kind of went with the flow....couldnt wear anything but a johnny

until the night after surgery. But then after that I was able to wear my own

clothes, so long as they weren't tight around the incision site...so tank tops,

very baggy tees, shorts/pants that were low on my hips....no belts for about

6 weeks....no tight jeans for about the same....i did sleep with a pillow under

my back while in the hospital (4 days) just because those beds are so un

comfortable and I was afraid that if i laid on my back it would hurt. You cannot

sleep on your stomach for awhile....I'm not a stomach sleeper anyway, so the

amount of time, I dont know....and oh yah, I didnt go to TCI, but I dont think

my hospital would be any different from there. Except that they might have

better beds...LOL

Never say never! Can't is a " four letter word! " Always give 110%!
