craftyhunnypie Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Oooo ouch! Don't over do stuff. I remember having a giggling fit at some junior doctors & feeling fine after my op. The next day I could not walk & was bent over double. What I'm saying is be careful, you might think you are ok & it doesn't hurt - but the next day it will affect you. Look after yourself & get others to wait on you. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 I was very lucky, i got bad at work, finished my morning surgery (typical ) & went in to one of my GPs who called an ambulance, the surgeon said it was very early so not too bad, well if that was an ealy one goodness knows what a bad one feels like Ive had a big vase arrangement from work and hubby has made my tea & looked after the girls. Im having trouble straightening up but Im not too bad. Not sure how long I can expect to be off work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Ditto the above - shocked at your timing - rule of thumb - get ill at beginning of surgery, send pts home and upset recp staff - much better than soldiering thro to the end But take it easy and enjoy fine (!) weather and your chucks.

CatieB Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hopefully this will cheer you up. My DH had the operation COMPLETELY unneccessarily as a child as he faked a really bad tummy as he was off school, and didn't want his mum to leave him. He has the scar, mentally and physically Surely that must be amazing to pull that off and he should of gone on to be an actor. His mum never found out.

Seagazer Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hope you feel better soon. I was 'lucky' in that I had it done as a child so you tend to recover quicker then, I amazed the nurses by getting out of bed just after it was done and wandered around looking for the bathroom. They told the change of staff in the morning as I was pottering around and one nurse said 'I bet if we said touch your toes you could' so I did - never heard so many nurses shout at once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 well if that was an ealy one goodness knows what a bad one feels like It feels like hell, you can't walk, can't eat, throwing up every 5 minutes. My appendix burst, was in hospital for ages. Anyway, hope you feel better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Sorry to hear that Tiggy - you've had your run of health problems lately, I hope that 2011 is better for you.

Mercedes55 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Hope you feel better soon. I had my appendix out 2yrs ago and it was awful, took such a long time to recover from. I think it was about 6wks before I felt well and at the time I was convinced I just had a tummy bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I was in my twenties when I had mine removed - blues and twos to the hospital and just made it into theatre where it burst as they removed it. It was about 4 weeks before I was moving around without pain. Hope you're soon up and about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperman Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hope you get well soon Tiggy, I left my appendix at the Royal Berkshire 13 years ago when working away from home. Mine was a late one as I kind of hoped it would go away, needless to say it didn't. Although I was very sore after the operation I felt much more comfortable than I did beforehand. I was taken in Thursday night and discharged Friday morning, I felt every tiny bump on the motorway home. I would second the 'take it easy advice'. I went back to work after a week off and burst my stitches running for a train with my case in hand. I would have taken the full nine weeks recommended by the doctor only I didn't get sick pay at the time. Take care, Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
