Surgery Details

[dapsbounce8]

Thats so crazy! What do you look like - I'm just wondering so I'll recognize you if I see you. I'm 5'5'', thin, light brown hair. I'll be with my mom.

[Jill K]

I am 5'7" or so, light brown hair with blonde streaks, and I will be with my dad. I also will probably be wearing a green northface or a jean jacket. if we somehow dont see each other i will tell dr. sarwark to say hi from me.

Did you see me dapsbounce8? i think i saw you with your mom but i wasnt sure.

[Jill K]

This goes out to anyone~
Did your surgery go through your side, through your back, or somewhere else? Also did they collapse your lung or not?
~Thanks

Hey Jill!
I think I saw you too. I was going to say hi, but you were just walking out with your dad (I think?). You were wearing a green fleece. Dr. Sawark also told me that you said hi. How did your appointment go?

My appointment went really well. Dr. Sawark said my back is looking great and he said I can start walking on horses again. Yay! Good luck!

Congrats on the good news! Know you missed your horses. Take care.

I was going to say hi too, but I thought you seemed taller than 5' 5" and your hair looked really dark (because the sun was behind you). Thats so cool about the horses and everything. When I told Dr. Sarwark about you he said you were a great patient and that you were healing really well. You probably told me already but what were your degrees before and after surgery. Thanks again and congrats. on your horse riding.

You dont have to answer but what town do you live in and what school do you go to. If its too personal dont answer , I wont mind. Also do you have an AOL screen name? I do, so if you have one it might be easier to talk that way. Like I said before you dont have to answer, believe me its fine.

Hey Jill,
I was 48 degrees before surgery (single curve) - I'm not sure about the after. I would be happy to tell you my school and city, but I'd rather do it in a private message. You don't have that option under your posts, so I think you just turned it off when you set your options. See if your can go into options and change it or maybe you could pm me and I will reply???

[Jill K]

Oh yeah, I understand. I turned on my private messages so now i can recieve messages. Talk to you soon.

I gave my first and only pint of blood today. It didnt hurt too much, but they asked me a lot of random questions (have i ever been in jail!!!! lol!!!) My arm still hurts a little bit but not too much. I didnt feel to dizzy either which is good. how was your blood donation(s)? <---this goes out to anyone.

eeeek!

Who ever has had surgery please please tell me what the catherter was like thats what i'm most afraid of!


PS i herd Jills surgery went well!

[Jill K]

hi, yeah, I'm doing fine. The cathader was not painful at all when it was in me or anything, but when they took it out it didn't hurt at all, it just felt kind of weird. But dont worry, it's not at all painful, it goes fast and believe me, you wont even care because you will be a little out of it still (but not too much) and you will want it out. It was all down hill for me when they took it out. After they took it out, a few hours later I walked to the bathroom with just a little help from my mom and the nurses, I did that 3 times!!! Plus when they make you walk it is a whole lot easier because you dont need a nurse or someone holding your bag for your cathader because it wont be there. Trust me, it wont hurt at all, and after that you'll be home before you know it. Good luck with your surgery, you'll be fine!!!
