janaka Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Well I'm home finally. I went in on Monday morning and had my kidney removed. I actually got home yesterday around 5pm or so but didn't get on to a compute as I just was more interested in being home and relaxing. Its been a pretty fast week for me all in all time actually flew by pretty good. Surgury went well they told me, nothing unexpected and they were able to take the kidney out lathropscopically (or however that's spelt) so I only have 4 small incisions in my abdomin. In all seriousness it wasn't nearly as painful as I was expecting so far. I guess I set myself up for the worst but its not THAT bad all in all. I should have been home on Thursday but the perkicet (sp?) didn't agree with my stomach and caused vomiting. Now THAT was probably the most pain I've been in so far believe it or not. I'm now just on oxycodon ir and it seems to be doing the job without any side effects. They just wanted to monitor me for a day to make sure everything was ok. I'm up and walking around on my own already with little to no pain and eating a bit, nothing solid yet but pudding, apple sauce and soups. Baby steps for now. I'm glad to be out of the hospital thats for sure. I'm expecting to be off the meds and back to 'normal' by the new year. I can't drive while I'm on these meds obviously so I won't be out and about much till then nor will I be working on the Z. Z ya around and thanks for the past advice/life stories it helped a lot.

Brad-ManQ45 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Glad you're out of the hospital - that place is for sick people! The less time you spend in one the less likely you are to get an infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax240z Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Glad you are out too, sounds like quite a procedure! I'm recovering from surgery too at the moment, lots of time reading hybridz and not a lot of time working on stuff unfortunately... wish I could do both! Hope you have a speedy recovery, and if you are looking for something to do there are lots of great older threads here worth reading.

DavyZ Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Speedy recover to both of you guys. Best of luck. Yep! Guys, just let yourself heal before starting kickboxing again Glad the surgery(s) went well. The pain medication side effects can be worse than the surgery itself as you found out Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Actually for me the worst part was the "no fluids after 7am" and the associated dehydrated condition. Awful. The anesthetic hangover was pretty awful too though. I managed to make it though without any pain killers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
