tanclan4 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 Hope your back on your feet soon, but don't rush it. Enjoy your time off and have a complete recovery. (I hear Chalo's downsized their portions so your good to eat there) That's both good and bad though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 10, 2010 thanks everyone. I actually ended up going to the emergency room last night because I have a bunch of swelling in my hips, abdomen and all the way down my legs. I thought it was strange and called the ER about it and they said it could be a blood clot and to come in. Turns out it's pretty normal for post surgery because they flushed a lot of fluids in my abdominal cavity. It would be nice if they mentioned that as something to expect after surgery, but hey at least I got to find out it was "normal". I feel like I am turning into Elephant woman....apparently my body will somehow absorb those fluids back into my system for elimination. Weird! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 10, 2010 I called the surgeon this morning just to fill her in on the swelling I am having and that I went to the ER last night. She wanted me to immediately come in and get an ultrasound to check for blood clots (which can be fatal). So I went back there again and had the test. They found no clots. But I still am all swollen in my abdomen and legs and even some in my feet. Weird! They gave me some stronger pain meds since the other wasn't doing much for me. So pray that I don't become some drug addicted person after taking all this medicine. One of the side effects listed is "may cause abnormal drug-seeking behavior"....yuck. The surgeon thinks I am healing well, but she was just a little concerned about the swelling. Lets see..I got to the hospital on Saturday morning, stayed overnight and had the surgery on Sunday morning, then ended up in the ER on Monday night, then again over there on Tues afternoon.....thank god we have a good hospital close to us! They really have been very nice, compassionate and professional there. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 11, 2010 Here are some pics of part of one of the gall stones that was in me....wow, I am guessing it represents 2/3 or half of the stone. I can't believe these things were in me! They tell me the stones are usually made of cholesterol (and that it does not correlate with the cholesterol level in your blood). the bottom pic shows the jagged side of where it was broken.
