That is what it actually said... No way could I make that stuff up. I may have mispelled a few words... I will be seeing him tomorrow so we will ask some questions...

No, Ellie - never occurred to me that you would make that stuff up! :) I was just surprised at the lack of conviction in the report: probably, possibly, what appears to be, ect ...
I wish you the very best with your follow-up!
Hugs,
Karyn

Oh no Karen, I copied it word for word, May have misspelled a few words in the process... I went out to lunch yesterday and sat for 35 min. before I felt I should get up.. It was a bit toublesome after , but I went home and put ice on and I was fine.... I really do believe good things are happening. I just want some of those shocks but then I may never get them. I sure do wish I understood all of this like you do.... I have some homework to do here.. :D Have a great day my dear.... Ellie

Ellie,
YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!!!!!! I can't believe you sat for 35 minutes, so soon!!! Wooo-hooo! :D
No worries about the spelling - there's no grammar grading going on here! :lol:
You give me waaay too much credit. I understand very little of this. But I'm trying!
Please let me know how your appointment goes. I'm rooting for you and cheering you on!
Love and hugs,
Karyn

Ellie,

So glad to hear you are able to go out to lunch but please do be careful with the sitting! My surgeon said no more than 15 minutes for the first month and I have heard it is longer for bilaterals. Best wishes to you for continued recovery!

Jeanie

Karyn,

I believe that a surgeon says, "possible, probably" because they can't actually see where the nerve comes from...it's actual source. They can only see that it's a nerve in a place that it usually isn't. :lol:

feeling nauseaus and chills after surgery

Is it normal to be feeling so nauseaus , diahreah , chills after surgery... First I thought maybe it was from the fetnayl.. I take 75mg. on the last day of the patch I start feeling icky... I put a new one on this am 7 hours ago and still feel crappy... I will be happy to hear if it is just from the surgery.... I had stopped gabapentine slowly before surgery, thinking it wasn't doing any good , but that was 6 weeks ago since I have had one......I started taking a small does again and am starting to work up to more after a while.... nothing else has changed.... my numbers were good when I went in for a follow up with dr. A. he said all of my numbers were down.. I wasn't feeling so ishy then so I didn't mention it to him... I need all of the help I can get.. Ellie

Ellie, there are lots of flu and viruses going around right now; I just had one that lasted for a couple of days. I hope you feel better very soon, though.
