Also you can’t lift more than so many pounds or you’ll pop you stitches. Mine was 5 lbs and the first thing I did was fall out of bed and try to get up. I weight more than 5 lbs, so does a gallon of milk , a Pyrex full of 8 cups of water and some oven and fish washer doors. One of my brothers went around weighting everything and putting anything over 5 lbs beyond my reach. I did pop an internal stitch which meant a lot of more tests, but I did ok, the bruise was something else though since it came from deep within.

One last thing, I found the hystersister website very handy, they have a section for various reason for surgery and they will send progress emails for your type as to what to expect as you go along. There is also a forum to chat. Also ice, learn to love ice. If you do 20 mins every hour for 6 hrs , you get fairly numb, I actually slept with ice after I pulled the stitch, Youre not supposed to do this but I did ok, I put a wash cloth between me and the ice so it froze slower. The only pain killer I took was hydromorphone because it was that or fentanyl. Best advice I got was don’t let the pain build up because then it takes more meds to get it down, grim and bearing it doesn’t get you better any faster and probably slows you down.
i didn’t get addicted even after several weeks of 2 tablets 4x day, and had no problem going off. I just needed it less and less until I didn’t, pain seems to eat meds. Tramodal is a joke.

Mom broke her hip Monday, had surgery on it Tues and was walking on it some this morning. Thanks!

I hope everything works out well for your mom as well!

My wife has had some issues too, but received a STELLAR report today!!

They do get you moving fast after those joint surgeries.
So happy to hear good news for your wife.
for all of you!!

I have a pair... love them
The travel essentials one in moss green

Have you thought to try wearing one during a storm to see if it helps any?

Also you can’t lift more than so many pounds or you’ll pop you stitches. Mine was 5 lbs

Sounds like you had quite the recovery!!
Not the same - but I was in a car accident (25 years ago??). Had a 10# limit. My 1st nibling was born days after the accident. 10# baby. I had to be propped by pillows and monitored just to hold him for a few minutes.
But you don't realize how many things are 5# or 10# until you have a restriction like that... one with a very painful reminder if you... miscalculate.

Also ice, learn to love ice.

2 time knee replacement chiming in. could not agree MORE
Especially since the meds tend to wear off a bit before the next dose. And @Noor is absolutely right about Chasing Pain. No bueno - don't do it!

Thank you!!

Well, yeah - a straightjacket will get the job done, too
Not as easy for us single folk - unless you can pop your shoulder out of socket easily??

I can pop my shoulders in and out of socket at will.... it really squicks my Lovely Wife out though.

I can too, but I have ehlers danlos and we aren’t really supposed to do party tricks.
I used to get my backpack off by subluxing my shoulders!

Night all

I hope you're peacefully sleeping with sweet dreams!

Thanks for all of your knowledge sharing... some of it reminds me of hernia surgery... I've had two bilateral and one single.

Tell me you're the life of the party without telling me...

Actually, there's a fairly good age gap between me and my oldest brother.
One of my first childhood memories is one of his friends, swinging me around by the arms in circles. He thought I was screaming with excitement, but I was screaming in pain, as both shoulders were out of socket.... I've always thought that might have something to do with my "special skill."

 

[Boat1]

So would a produce farmer - just saying.
Harder to keep fresh produce, I'm guessing.
Lots of meats and sweets can be frozen or shelf-stable.

Oddly enough, 25 years on these boats and the best, freshest produce I've eaten was when I worked in the arctic circle out of Dutch Harbor, Alaska.

 

[Boat1]

I want to thank each and every one of you for the well wishes, love, and wisdom you've extended to me while my mom and wife were both dealing with health issues and I'm stuck offshore.
It means more than you know to me!!!

A long day yesterday getting work done in the garden … I was so tired I slept till 06.30 am this morning. And what a day to be out walking the boys up the hill. So calm and still with the riptide up and the river full. I am so blessed to look out on this every day. And then away to the hills later to fish in my happy place!

 

[Greylag]

Mmm perhaps lol

Yes, confined to uterus. They also said it was slow moving, so that is a relief. We’re hoping the hysterectomy gets all the evil out of her.

I’ve lost too many family members to cancer. Don’t want to lose another.

Praying for you both

 

[Greylag]

I am scared .... I dont know why.... I need one of those thunder vests that dogs wear...haha

Arm around your shoulder @Missk_2022 .. squeezes … you will be fine

 

[Greylag]

So true. After my late wife died of a rare bile duct cancer, I was petrified hearing I had prostate cancer. It’s very slow growing we are surveillance.

Praying you will be fine B2

My BIL went early for a colonoscopy around mid to late 40s and they found it in him, but they were able to take it out. It looked like cauliflower.

You weren't able to get your talked out?

Glad they did. Colonoscopy not the pleas test experience as I found out three weeks ago but necessary
