Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 Crew- My wife still has much swelling from surgery in June. CAT scan revealed it is not spinal fluid. Dr's say it will go down in time. How long have some waited? Also, she is having much hair loss the last few weeks. Anyone experience this after surgery? M.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2000 Report Share Posted September 26, 2000 Hi Mike, Sorry to hear of your wife's rehab difficulties. The outcome of the surgeries is enough, but these side effects really get one down. I know Anne's did after the abdominal surgery which we are still dealing with. Actually, I believe she had edema for about 1 month. They used some protein in the IV to help her but I really think it was a kidney thing. I just don't know what to say for your wife other than the usual cranberry juice, lots of water, exercise of whatever kind she can do. Hair loss was a problem for Anne after most surgeries except the last. I think it has to do with the meds they get in surgery or possibly anything given after surgery. I will keep the both of you in my prayers. Be sure to keep us posted. Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
