Hello All!!
Thank you everyone for thinking and praying for us on surgery day. My prayers and thoughts went to you all as well.
I was so glad to hear everyone got to get their surgery complete as I know we all were worried something would get in the way.
I thought of everyone here and wanted to let you all know how we were doing.
Finally 6 days after surgery we drove the 2-3 hours back home.
It is scarey bc I'm afraid of infection and we can't just run up to the Dr office to have him check things. She is better but the vicadin made her sick and now on Tylenol 3. Still taking it every 3-4 hours.
The nightly torture of rolling and vital signs were as you all warned me. So many things posted here helped me prepare.
The posterior surgery took 4 hours.
Her hip graft has given her alot of pain but we are now getting in bed on the opposite side which helps alot.(I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.)
Now today is her worst day(and mine)bc her neck at the top is throbbing and says it feels like something is trying to poke out!
I am watching bc I'm so scared of infection as the nurse told me to be careful of...
Please keep me posted of all your progresses and advice. I know we have a long journey ahead but thank God we are post op.
untill later, mamakay
