Guest guest Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 So I am home. Saturday instead of Monday YAY! I was given a different cocktail of pain meds and I am feeling much much better. I have a pain patch and am on pain killers every 3 hours. This will be reevaluated next week. I can move freely now. Obvioulsy I have pain but I can get up and go to the bathroom. My surgeons and docs are very impressed with my post surgery healing. I retained much water weight from the IV's because my blood pressure was very low due to the Epidural which made them overload me on IV fluids that I didn't absorb- It actually went into my tissue. The retention is so bad that I have some bruising. This should straighten out in the next couple of days. My surgeon feels that they caught the mass just in time too. He explained that he does not know if he could of said that in a years time. I will have official pathology reports next week but all my docs don't seem too concerned. It will be nice to have it on paper though. It's so nice to be home. Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
