NH,
Glad to see you are starting the road to recovery. You already know, but it will take time - don't push yourself too much. The one thing that helped me a lot when I came home from my knee surgery was ice - lots and lots of it, again Im sure you know this. The doctors told me to put it above my incisions, closer to my groin so that the blood would cool before it reached my knee and thus not cause more swelling. Also, I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but pain killers can cause constipation, especially the kind they give you after major surgery. Just something to keep in mind, though I do agree with the others to keep drinking lots of fluids and to check with the doc as soon as you can.

Sending healing happy thoughts,
Mouse

Sometime anesthesia can cause severe constipation, but you should check with your doctor as to what you can take and to let them know how long it has been. Unfortunately, that was one of the side effects of my chemo and it can make you miserable. :(

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping that having your dogs home will cheer you up!!

Yes This will be a challenge daily. I know the end of this challenge will bring mobility I have not had in a very long time. It has emotional ups and downs and mass amounts of exhaustion.

Still running fever and still no bathroom this must be taken care of at this point.
