Re: I need some answers...please-'s TT

I guess I should jump in here too! I had my TT with Dr. K. I did it while

having a hernia repaired. It was really no problem. Okay, I did get a little

bit of a fever, about 5 days after surgery. I was give antibiotic and

promptly got C-diff, which for me is the norm. Give me a broad spectrum

antibiotic

and I WILL get a C-diff infection. It is a necessary evil for me. I am just

finishing up a long course after my surgery in September.

Two weeks after my surgery, with one of four drains still attached, I flew

to Dallas for the NEA convention. No problems there. On the third day or so

my drainage had decreased enough so that Dr K said that I could pull the tube

out myself. I could have if I wasn't a big chicken. So, I went to the first

aid office at the convention and had a paramedic pull it for me. I think they

were quite interested in it all. They usually get people when they are all

messed up, not fixed up!

Anyway, that is it. No problems. No worries. I think the most painful time

was the day after surgery when I started crying (over something

hormonal/emotional). THAT hurt like a big dog! All the stomach muscles pull up

when you

bawl and so it just made it worse. Of course, with the situation, I had been

holding it in, Dr. K came in and asked me how I was doing and the flood gates

let loose. The poor man! He got me taken care of, pain-wise right away. I may

not have been in a lot of pain before, but a crying jag sure made it hurt!

You will do fine!!!!

love ya!
