Jani healing in recovery house

I just got off the phone with Jani and she is doing well with high spirits after her surgery on Thursday by Dr. Leis in the Philadelphia area.

Wishes to her for a fast and excellent recovery.

Congratulation Jani I wish you a fast recovery.

[Jani]

Thank you all.  I just logged in to say hi and that I'm doing well.  Laying on my back most of the day is difficult.  Pain level is minimal and I haven't used any meds since leaving the hospital.  The staff at Lower Bucks was beyond wonderful.  My wife jokingly asked this morning if I was bored yet.  Yes I certainly think so but not strong enough for activity beyond walking to kitchen.  I'm not as robust as I thought I was.  Ha!

I plan to head home on Sunday so familiar spaces and my own bed will be welcomed.

The catheter came out yesterday and I was able to shower and wash my hair.  Yeah!  The surgery area looks good yet when I stand I see it's still quite swollen.  My GI system is back to working normal again which is a relief. (no pun intended)  Urinating is certainly a different experience.  The aim is down but a little off.  I expect that to resolve once the swelling goes down.  Overall I am very satisfied.

I also had the corners of my chin rounded off.  The incision is under my chin.  The area is still numb but with no real pain to speak of.  The big downside is I will not be able to continue electrolysis for some time.

Thank you to everyone for your wishes and thoughts.

Glad everything is healing smoothly. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that mine is as uneventful.

[MarcieMarie12]

Yeah! Glad everything is going well!

[Charlize]

I'm glad it's going smoothly Jani.  Give yourself time to relax and heal.  I know i sometimes try to push things when i shouldn't and can cause myself harm.

 

Hugs,

I'm finally home and am I happy!  It will be nice to be in my own bed tonight.  The flight was short at a little over one hour.  I was sore by the time I could move again.  The swelling is going down and the numbness is wearing away as the nerves knit back together.  I should have gotten a nice cushy donut thingy to sit on.  Also when I was able to restart E, I put the two patches I wear on and that was a mistake.  The next morning I was headachy and nauseous.  I looked up my symptoms, Morning Sickness from too big of a hit of E flooding my body.  I took one off having saved the packaging and have felt good since.  I'll ramp up a little more in a day or two.  I'll be laying low at home for some time before flying back for a follow up visit with Dr. Leis in three weeks.   

Thank you all for your support.

It's good to hear you are doing well after the surgery. Like Dorthy said " there's no place like home" . Wishing you a speedy recovery. 

[Briana]

Awesome Jani!  Sounds like you're doing wonderful.  And there really is no place like home...to recover.  In general, the faster you're out of the hospital and up and around the better.  Keep moving forward!  :-)

[tracy_j]

Take it steady Jani. It will take a while to recover.

I hope all goes well
