Surgery with Dr. Lenke

[mabeckoff]

She is so lucky to have you as a husband

[Mojo's Mom]

Wow, all I can say is, WOW! This is fantastic, I can't believe they let her go already and that she did all these stairs and all this walking, this is so inspiring! We are looking forward to hearing from her soon. You are fantastic support for her, Jeremy, I am so impressed.

This is helping me be optimistic about my own surgery coming up in April.

Yay, Doreen!

[Confusedmom]

Totally agree. Making me feel good to be scheduled with Doreen's surgeon! And wow, what a nice hubby!

I think one of the biggest bummers of being in the hospital is having an irritating neighbor. I'm sorry you have to endure her. You will be jumping at the opportunity to go home! When I was having my second child (in the middle of the night) I got put in a room with a woman that smoked (yes, it was allowed back then). She had so much family coming in and they all had to parade past me to get to her. I was so furious. All I wanted was a little rest. When the gal went home, I thought, finally some rest, when the doctor came in and discharged me. I had only had my baby less than 10 hours previous to this. So, away I went. Anyway, Doreen, the point of that story was to let you know that I totally empathize with you having an obnoxious room mate. Maybe she will leave before you! It's been nice to hear from you. I can feel the misery you are in through your post. I hope your meds work soon so that your tummy feels better. Gentle (((hugs))).

You are going to have a great laugh when you read this post after you've recovered.

This is a tough time, but you'll eventually stabilize your bowels, and you can get on with the real healing. I took senna and colace tablets twice a day for the entire time I was on narcotics. In addition, when I started feeling constipated, I also took lactulose. I don't know if it worked for you, but it definitely worked for me. I don't think I was ever uncomfortable like many have been.

Hang in there.

Regards,
Linda

Haha, that post made my day. I'm glad you're doing so well Doreen. That's awesome you got discharged so quick, I'm very happy for you and Jeremy. Congrats on getting discharged.

[Singer]

Yes Doreen, I think you win multiple prizes for fastest discharge from the hospital, sweetest husband, and loopiest post-op post. ;^) I'm thrilled for you that your surgery was so successful.

As far as gas pain goes -- Miralax worked really great for me. I took it for months.

[loves to skate]

Yay Doreen! So glad you can leave the hospital so soon. Gentle hugs for healing.

Great post! Got a real chuckle out of that.

You're doing great! Good luck with the BMs - where else but here would you read a comment like that?!

[mabeckoff]

Glad to hear that you are doing OK

[Mojo's Mom]

Doreen, it's so great to "see" your voice in your "typieing"! We will be here with you every day, and cheering for you!

[TwinmomTN]

Great to see you posting again Doreen. I know you are so ecstatic
with your great outcome. You are setting some pretty high standards for
the rest of us behind you to live up to when it comes "our time". Hang in there
and keep the funny posts coming!

I missed your husband's post that explained your discharge from the hospital. That's great news! You for sure won't have that noisy neighbor, ha ha. I hope you are feeling well. Take care!
