The surgeon has notified me that we need to remove my rectum as well.. in a second, later surgery. That freaks me out more than the colon removal. Best not to think about it. One step at a time.
Life kinda bites right now, I have been couped up at home for so many days now. Tomorrow I'll try to get out. I don't think we were meant to be caged up.
Just a few more days to go! Keep thinking positive. Don't even worry about the second surgery right now. Focus on how well you will feel the minute you wake up from surgery on Thursday. :) You'll be amazed at the difference.
ReplyDeleteRectum removal for me was easy peasy, just make sure you get the surgery where you're let heal from inside out and not sewn shut. I don't think she ever even looked at that end of me again after surgery lol - only the nurses did a couple of times when I complained. I sat for hours 2 days after surgery and had no issues with healing or pain. Now if only the hernia repair portion of that surgery had been so easy!
ReplyDeleteGood to know, thanks for the info!
