Today Monday 17 th I will be going into Hospital to have my Hernia fixed, I am feeling nervious and I'm shaking in my boots . I may not get the chance to be on here for a few days I am told its only day surgery depends how things go while under.
Great to hear that it went well. Best wishes mrs starkers!
Here's a prescription for Mrs Starkers-Hope it HELPS!!!
@ scruf!
Welcome home Mrs S.
Thank you everyone for all the well wishes I am home now and sore. thank god for the pain medicaction, mind you tho I am getting around like a 90 year old lady lol which I was'nt expecting lol
Try to take it easy for a while, don't exert Yourself!
I hope those are chewable though.......trying to swallow them might put Her back in the hospital!
Great to have you back, Shaunna!
Welcome home!
Well of course not.... but I did warn you not to save it all up for a bark to rival my best, didn't I???
so glad it went well
still in a fair bit of pain, thank heveans for the endone
Welcome back to the funny farm. You'll be back in top form before you know it,just take things easy. Let starkers do all the cooking and NO curried cabbage.
I have been... and NO curried cabbage... YET. Last night we had stir fry beef with Thai vege, teriyaki sauce and rice. I'm stumped as to what we'll have tonight, though. Haven't been shopping yet... and all we have is cabbage and curry powder.
starkers cooking!
the endone will be undone .... nyuk.
ahhh now thats why I need the stronger endone I am only on 5mg maybe 10+ mg would be better ouch that hurt to laugh lol
Ok its time for an update, today Tuesday 15th Sept at 10.20am Australia Time I go back to the Hospital for my 4 week check up, thing is I still have a nasty infection and hasnt cleared up I had a course of antibiotics but still no good hopefully My surgeon will come up with something to help rid me of this rotten thing. I feel rotten and just not myself.
If they put mesh in, make sure the mesh isn't infected. If it is, it'll have to be removed, then a course of antibiotics and then replacement....when it's healed and clear of infection.
I'm sure everything will be just fine Mrs. S. Chin up!!
I'm going again tomorrow (Tuesday), to get the results of my Nuclear tests(?!) Then they can decide what they're gonna do to fix me! Fun Fun Fun!!
Thanks BoXXi, yes all will be fine, and I ill be thinking of you too mate. hope all goes well
Well at this stage I have to go back in for more day surgery, aparently I had a reaction to the tape and the stiches in side the wound and I need to get that cleared up with out antibiotics? and then they will clean it out and cut the stiches from the inside and if need be they will drain it, and if I start feeling hot and cold then its straight to the Hospital, thing is while I was up there today I told them that I have been hot then cold and nothing was said, I am told I should hear something within 2 weeks to have this fixed fingers crossed
You are in mine and i sure everyones thoughts and prayers. Get well soon.
yes doc its the mesh omg i hope theres no infection there , hot and cold and being dizzy, feeling sick this is all the things I told the dr but it was like bugga this we will get you back in bout 2 weeks and do something then , but in the mean time if this gets worse come back to the Hospital, Thats pretty much how I was treated. surley this cant be right. the wound is hot too the touch and is red and angry too im worried and I cant help it . sorry for being a winger but its just so sore .. thanks for listening
why do the public Hospitals have to be so slow, even when they say you will hear something in the next few days, hahaha I have come to the conclusion that they have conspiracy against everyone waiting to get minnor things done
Both reactions to stiches and infection could yield a swollen, red wound. Antibiotics help when you know which bug it is and get a report on which drugs it is not resistant to. From your generalized symptoms, I'd suspect infection and want to rule that out first. Cultures should be taken from inside the wound, antibiotics started and then modified per the report.
No conspiracy...just poor organization and procedures and probably just one person being told to do the job of three.
I do hope it isn't infection, sweety. I tend to be a pessimist and try to eliminate the worse possibilities first.
Love to ya from the States.
Good luck Mrs S, hope they get you sorted.
I'm counting down. 1hr 15mins to admission...
