OT - Changes in plan

Here's to the relaxation of the pain meds having the right effect on
DH's disks. Nasty pain: disks... and shoulder (rotator cuff)
injuries.

Speaking of rotator cuff---I had arthroscopic surgery 3 weeks ago for
rotator cuff, frayed tendon and bone spur. Everyone, even the surgeon, said
it would be very painful. Guess I'm just a tough ole broad! The sling came
off in 9 days and I had really good use of my arm. It'll be three weeks
tomorrow. Full use of the arm---no pain except for mild discomfort the
first 2 days.

I am PERMANENTLY careful now. Too much (as in less than minimal!)
fat/oil, and I'm in trouble. MOST folks are fine after they recover
from the op. About 3% have to be careful forever.

Yes - and it goes on! But I did have a severe and long-term case of
gall bladder disease before it was removed, and already had IBS.

Hopefully all will go well as can be. Good luck with
the recovery.

Seconded!

DD2 had hers out and got a small infection in the navel (one of the
locations for the 4 necessary holes). Guess it got too damp and
bacteria-friendly in there under the bandage, so some vigilance is
required!

I had my gall bladder out due to stones in 1995. I don't remember any
restrictions on food.

My DH spent 3 months off work and another 4-5 months to get back to full
time work last year ( and didn't that cost a fortune in pain meds !!), so
I just hope the pain has subsided for your DH

For the last month, DH has been seeing doctors and getting treatment (2
injections) for bulging discs and a pinched nerve in his neck. Needless
to say, he isn't up for doing much, and we were thinking about him having
neck surgery. During this time, I had lots of therapy quilting time!!!!
Last Thursday, he started complaining of stomach pains. After waiting 2
days, he finally went to the Doc-in-a-box and was told to go immediately
to the hospital to have his gall bladder checked. Well, Saturday morning
at 8, one surgeon operated to clear his bile ducts. The surgery done
through his mouth, esophagus, stomach, etc. etc. (amazing!) Sunday
morning at 7:30, a different gastrointestinal surgeon removed the gall
bladder laparoscoptically....4 bandaids!! Monday afternoon I brought him
home. He's a little sore, but has no real pain, no restrictions, and no
diet recommendations, other than low-fat. Since he was on pain-meds in
the hospital, he had no neck pain....we're waiting to see what happens
now. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the neck pain subsided with the pain
meds and bed rest in the hospital?

So, we won't be going to our son's for Thanksgiving, and since they
invited other guests, they can't come here. The other two sons will be
with their in-laws. Rather than cooking for two (and facing all those
leftovers), we're planning to go out. That'll be a big change for us!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
