Tomorrow is today...

A little late, but wanted to add my good wishes! Remember, walking and water are key to a speedy recovery.

Good luck and Godspeed.

Go get'em nsb! I've been here so long now, that I don't get concerned or worried when people are scheduled for nephrectomies. I get excited for them. It may very well be the most important thing they ever do for themselves and their families. I may be a little warped. (ok alot warped). But when people are frightened of the procedure and the pain, I smile. We've all been there. It gets better.

Hospitals...no place to get some rest!

Congrats!  Now all you have to do is prove to the nurses and Dr. that your ready to get out of there. Good luck. 

Good going... the deed is done..!  Yes time to heal... do not over do it... you may feel good but.. it takes time..  OK, so why not just flirt with all the nurses.. they tend to like it.. and once the doctors see you flirting with them.. well they will kick you out faster..! (they won't like you flirting with THEIR nurses).   Well maybe not, but it passes the time with more smiles...

Being at home is so much

Nsb,

Now that you are home you can relax for awile. Not that you feel like doing much else.

Those pain medications do make you constipated and no one in their right mind wants to be constipated a week after RCC surgery. So take something to soften up.

Sometimes not.. my body was

Sometimes not.. my body was working the second day after surgery...  I thought I was ready on day one and they brought me a bed pan... just lots of gas.  Day two, I said NO to the bed pan, get me up.. they brought me a portable commode, and I promptly filled it up..!  They all cheered.. geesh..  They did give me a stool softener but I think that was precautionary..  all was well in that area...  Maybe because I did not have the epidural..?  Don't know, but if that is a benefit, I would do it again.. just had the button and the booster shot of drugs when needed.  Then again, we are all different...

Heal Up..!
