had my surgery done... i regret it sooo badly...

[Guest guest]

yeah im the 15 year old girl who got surgery on wednesday. WOW i

cannot believe i did this to myself. I did have some minor

complications. I got my wisdom teeth taken out about 3 months ago

and it turns out that bone never grew back on one side to fill up

the space. So he used a metal plate on one side and when I woke up,

I was WIRED shut. Oh wow... I thrw up blood non stop and i even

heard the nurses saying " aww this poor little girl, look what she

did to herself. why would anyone do that? " yeah... i regret it so

badly. Ive already lost weight and I'm about 3 days post op. I only

weighed 90 pounds to begin with and was like 5'2. Yeha, i really

regret this. I had lower done only, and i had to stay in the

hospital 2 nights instead of one. My bottom lip is HUGE and i have

so much swelling. I really feel so horrible right now and my surgeon

said that id be wired shut for about 3 weeks. ahh I cant believe you

guys can go thru this and were happy with it. Maybe i'm just too

young to handle all this but i'm really regretting it... =(

any words of encouragement?

[Guest guest]

Aww sweetie...i think that you are just in shock about the dramatic

change that has happened to you. I know that i was...i totally hated

it. I know that i am only within my 5 days post op..but already i

feel better. Wait until the swelling goes down..i think you will

feel a whole lot better.

Im sorry that i dont have anything else to say...i think i'll leave

it up to the adults on this board though..im 17..so if you want to

talk to somebody closer to your age i'm here...but i cannot guarantee

how much help i'll be..ive never been much of a good advice giver

I promise you, it will get better.

Looking at three weeks from the end you're on now, seems like looking

at eternity. And I'm not telling you it will be an easy three weeks.

(but hey -- half of the first week, which will probaby be the worst

week, is already over!)

I am telling you that you will get through it.

In mine own humble opinion, that nurse oughta be, at the least,

reported to the supervisor of nursing and the administrator of the

hospital, as well as to your surgeon. That kind of help, nobody needs

post-op. You are NOT a " Poor little girl. " And you did not " do this

to yourself. " Your surgeon did " this " to help you have a functional

mouth, and the nurse ought to be called down for such a comment. You

are a post-op patient who's trying to help her doctors help her help

herself, if you can thread your way through all that. There is no

excuse for such a statement from a nurse. (Makes me angry, if perhaps

you haven't been able to figure that out. And I think she did a true

disservice to her patient by saying such a thing.)

Now, on to more positive stuff. You can help yourself heal more

quickly by taking care of yourself, and letting your friends and

family take care of you.

It's important to keep the nutrition going in, to help support your

healing. I think it's not sooo important how you do it, except that

you need to be sure you're getting enough, and that it's good quality

food. (OK, Cheryl?)

Your lip and the swelling will subside. It may take a while, but

there will come a moment when you say, " Geez. It's better today. "

Remember, too, that you've had some major work done. Give your body a

chance. You wouldn't expect to be over a broken arm in a week, would

you? Be good to yourself, and let others pamper you.

Honest, it's gonna get better. I'm so sorry that you have encountered

these troubles, and I know you were frightened, going into it. But

you are in charge of your fears, and your approach to recovery, and a

positive mind-set and the idea that you're gonna get the best of all

this can go a long way toward helping. It is quite possible that what

you're going through now can avoid years of later pain, ranging from

discomfort to agony, when you are less able to recover quickly.

And of course we're here for you, in any way we can be of service.

Cammie,

Thanks for echoing my thoughts. I was mortified to read this

posting. The Nursing staff at LIJ were my angels. I couldn't have

gotten through those hours, between surgery and being allowed to see

my Mom and go home, without their support and medical guidance. The

nurse described below is in the wrong line of work and should most

certainly be reported. You must be a mom, Cammie ... and a good

one. Thanks for so eloquently supporting everyone. I'm so glad I

found this group. The knowledge herein is amazing.

Take care,

Carol

Nope. Only chillun I have is a big, long-haired crazy black altered

tomcat, who has about a pea-sized brain.

But your post is sweet.

that nurse wasn't, however, and I hope she learns better before she

has another patient.

My nurses, also, were extraordinarily kind and competent, and I have

no complaint whatever about the way they treated me. (Maybe because

mine were so very good, I have little tolerance for those who are ill-

suited to the profession they follow.)

I suspect that, in part, my nurses' abilities and kindness have to do

with the fact that my surgeon has taken the time and care to figure

out how and where his patients will do best, and is a natural-born

charmer who makes sure that everybody who tends his patients is top-

flight. I will forever be grateful to all of them, believe me.

Cammie,

I think you and I are in the same boat. My Surgeon has taken on this

wonderful big brother role for me. I think, sometimes, that his

patience and tolerance is neverending. I only wish we could all have

that same experience.
