Have done it 3x. It's not fun. Neither is sneezing... or laughing, for that matter.
ETA: Did she fart yet?

SSS,
Okay some advice for your mother.
Holding a pillow or folded bath blanket against the belly helps. (It's called splinting.)
The more she walks the better off she is. Tell her to walk a little further each time. (Walking helps not only with getting the system started up but with the healing as well.)
The Catheter will make her feel like she has to urinate all the time. Don't worry about it.
Make sure the area around the catheter is thoroughly cleaned at least twice a day. Learn to do it if she is shy. Failure to do this cleaning can lead to a U.T.I.
Do not be afraid to use the Morphine. If she allows the pain to get too bad before using it then it will take more to knock it down.
There is no privacy in a hospital.
If she has questions then she needs to ask them. That is her right and her duty.
The gas will start with belly pain. (Gas bubble.) It will progress to burps then to farts.
Use the inspirometer. (If she doesn't have one ask for one.)
Then you can tell her it could be worse, she could have me taking care of her.

The clot dissolves and she continues to march. It's going to be okay, Sarahh, really it is.

The dementia is rather common, as I understand it, in older folks after general anesthesia. There's even a name for it, although I can't recall it. My dad experienced it -- swore there were huge insects on the walls of his room and that the neighbor was a spy with a hidden bunker in his basement where he did "experiments."
That passes... just like the gas.
and prayers that the clot dissolves quickly without causing further complications.

We've had our differences on some of the other threads,
I just wanted to say I truly hope your Mom has a speedy recovery.
I too spent time with my Dad during and after major surgery,
the dementia was especially difficult to deal with.
Good thoughts to you and your mom.
Hope she gets better real soon.

My mom went through that when her appendix burst...she got out of bed after surgery and was standing in the door of her room...she couldn't go any further because of all the wires and tubes she was hooked up too.
She just stood there yelling to some invisible person to let her go. It took the nurses a good ten minutes to get her back in bed. That was 30+ years ago. Now she is in stage one Alzheimer's and lives with my brother and his family.
Prayers and good thought flashing your way.

About 2 days, although it seemed much longer. Completely freaked out my mother. My brother, on the other hand, just rolled with it. He'd quietly reassure dad and run interference with the nurses dad managed to insult with accusations of being Nazis.

Okay, that makes me feel better.
My mother keeps telling the nurses they smell like onions.
My dad is trying to roll with it, but my sister is the stress queen, and she keeps comparing this to when our brother had dementia-type issues.
I teach summer school in the morning but will spend the rest of the day at the hospital tomorrow so dad can get some sleep.
I wonder how much rum we currently have in the house.
Probably not enough.
Sick parents are so worrisome.
