Ok, now im pissed!. I got to the hospital today and Mom was sitting in a chair out of breath, she told me that the doc had her walk down the hallway. Am I wrong to think its fucking idiodic to ask a five foot five, 270 pound, 72 year old woman to walk a hallway less than 24 hours after having a kidney out?.....Am I?

I blasted this fuck when he came back, and then he has the balls to say that Mom may be able to go home tomorrow........Lets just say they called security to escort me from the building by the time I was done with him. My older brother Anthony (the maniac of the family) is fit to be tied and will be there tomorrow to make sure that dont happen, I have feeling that I will be arrested if I show back up. Angry

Mom is much better than she was in the recovery room, but no way good enough to go home that soon.

Some of you asked for an address and seeing that this shit is happening, if you PM me I will send you her home address.

Thank you all for caring!

I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on the internet. I have no idea what the standard recovery/hospital time is for a kidney removal.

That said, and at the risk of pissing you off Jonny, I think it's a good thing that she's well enough to move around so soon after surgery. A lot of what lengthens recovery time is large incisions and secondary infections and since her incisions are of the smaller variety, it's probably good she's moving as much as she is. The longer one is inactive, the weaker one can become.

I've always felt hospitals are no place to get rest. They are places to be watched for additional or unusual symptoms (usually at the expense of rest). Home is for rest. I'll bet she does well at home getting the rest she needs. But remember, I'm not a doctor and just know what I've observed, rather than learned in Med School.

And yes please, PM me her home address so I can send a card.

Deep breaths dear - she'll come through this fine.

Jonny,

First of all, try your best to calm down. I know it's tough to see your Mom sick and there is a lot of stress and anxiety for everyone when a family member goes through a surgery as your Mom did.

Most physicians feel that the sooner a post surgical patient can get out of bed and walk, the better they will recover. When I had my appendectomy, the nurses had me out of bed the night of my surgery...less than 6 hours post-op. I am in no way comparing my little appendectomy to your Mom's nephrectomy. She surely had a far more complicated surgery than I did.

Moving around post-op can help to prevent bloot clots in the legs and lungs and also helps with many other areas of the body systems. If your Mom stays in bed or stays dormant, she is at risk for complications.

It's hard to see someone we love in pain but please try to stay calm. Getting upset is only going to upset your Mom and she doesn't need that right now. She needs you to be there to help her.

Please try to stay calm and if we can help in any way, just give a holler, k?

(UPDATED) Reply #54 - Sep 11^th, 2008 at 8:01pm The reason they try to get patients up so soon is to ward off blood clots that travel to the heart, brain and lungs. It is pretty hard to get up so soon after surgery, but they really push everyone to do it. I have no idea why they would send her home so soon tho.

Not much to update. All things considered, I'm doing okay. Counted the staples in my gooch - 44. Okay, the wench counted 'em cuz I can't see down there very well.

Folded most of a load of laundry, had Chinese for dinner (Hunan shrimp and moo shoo pork), appetite is fine, enjoyed about a 2-hour nap this afternoon. Sitting on an icepack right now watching the Brewers lose to the Phillies.

Did I mention that percocet is a wonder drug?

Thanks for your concern.

P.S. - Jonny, I got that big kiss from you via the wench. It was a good one. Kiss

Yowza, Bres. 44 staples? Owie for sure!!!

As for the Percocet.....doc prescribed it for me after a couple of surgeries and even though the literature provided by the pharmacist stated "May cause drowsiness", I was hyped up as all heck. It's tough when your mind says, "Go, go, go" but the body can't cooperate.

Glad to hear you and your "gooch" are on the mend. Grin

Pat, you are indeed a Saint!!

Jonny - I agree with the movement being a good thing. When I woke up from one of my knee reconstructions they had my leg in a machine that was making me "run" in my sleep (just the one leg)!

She does need to be sure not to over do it though! Why do I have a feeling you'll be all over that!?!? You're a good boy no matter what Charlie says...... Wink

Bill,

Good to hear your staples are not interfering with your husbandly duties Grin

Seriously glad your doing fine.
