Buzz,
Really happy to hear you made it back home from surgery. Sounds like you are getting back to your old self. You will be right as rain in no time. And don't piss off the wife, or she will make you miserable.

Glad to see you are home and posting. Wife just loves ya, this stuff is hard on us caregivers too, we just want to make sure we are doing everything right and obeying doctors orders and we hate to see the one we love so very much in pain.
Sorry about the pain stuff that just sucks.
You are home now, recouperating and healing and that is the important part.
Take care - Tina0 -

Of course you just want to lay around. I can't even phathom the pain you must be in, but Im sure your wife doesn't want you back in the hospital so try to take it easy on her! I'm so happy to see your post. It is unbelievable that you didn't have your epidural in for two days. A friend of ours just got a letter from the MAYO clinic. There was a nurse who was injecting pain medication and giving the patients saline solution. He was HIV positive. Now our friend has to go back and get a blood test. Never know what can go on at the hospitals.
I wish you a fast recovery.

So Good to Hear from You
Just like everyone else, I have been looking for your post. You know there is an emotional element to surgery recovery too that I think compounds the process. I quit taking the pain meeds because I hate the way they make me feel but then I just cried from the pain, but I would rather do that than cry from depression.
My husband was gone to Drill for most of my recovery but my mom was here and bless her heart, she drove me crazy. That was another reason I quit taking the meds, so I could drive myself places! I hope that doesn't sound ungrateful. Recovery is physical, mental and emotional and they all don't heal at the same pace.
You sound pretty good to me though and I'm glad you are home.
Take care and keep us posted,

Buzz - soooo releived that you posted and gave us update. Tell your wife that all of us semi-colons said it's OK for you to lay around a bit post surgery, you deserve it! We will then colllectively help her kick your AZZ if we need to, when the time is right.
But for now - welcome home and praying for you to keep on keeping on
((HUGS))

Glad you posted...
Post again when you can and when you're stronger.
My epidural leaked down my back when it was on. I don't think I got a whole lot of pain control either. We all know it's OK to feel like crap. Lay around and gather some strength. Post when you can.
Love to you

Hi Buzz,
I hope you feel better today. I will be having vats on the 23rd, and as soon as your up to it, I hope you will give a play by play of the procedure. I have a pretty good idea and have read about other posters that have gone through the procedure. I never thought I would be hoping for a primary lung cancer, rather than a metasis, like you had previously said. I hope your path results come out good, and hopefully with all the chemo and stress our bodies have gone through it will be some type of benign granuloma, as it was very small. Have a good day.

Welcome back!
Welcome home! Hope you are feeling better soon.
I bet some of us who aren't such great patients could use your wife. Have you thought of renting out her services to keep others in line? It sounds like she's a real asset.0 -

Happy to hear you are home
Lay around! Lay around all you want!
So sorry to hear your epidural came out and the pains meds were wasted, with you getting nothing. I had an epidural for my hysterectomy and it was wonderful. I don't do well on pain meds, but I liked that. If you'd only known, you could have taken other meds by IV or pill. Damn!
I just got home from the hospital this afternoon with a damn chest tube. Punctured lung that deflated (port insertion surgery). I can't imagine the pain you have with lung surgery. I can tell you just my stupid punctured lung and this damn chest tube (right next to my sore chest from port insertion), hurt bad enough. I can't imagine you going through lung surgery - and not getting any pain meds. We always knew you were a tough old buzzard, but you proved it again!
So lay around all you want, and to hell with anyone who doesn't like it! Rest and take care of you first.0
