Op yesterday feeling sick sore and sorry!
Posted , 8 users are following.
I'm 43 and a r THR yesterday had a spinal with sedation didn't feel or hear a thing woke in recovery. Would highly recommend and also pain came back gradually so was able to get on top of pain. However felt very sick and was sick til half eight at night three times despite anti emetics. That was horrible. Think it was the OxyContin now having pro morph three hrly and paracetamol pain at its worse feels like a severe day re op with that aching feeling deep in the hip and round the bum. Stitches are dissolvable which is great. Had physio this am not as bad as I thought but felt faint walking to loo in my side room turns out my Hb is 87g/dl so have advised if I continue to feel faint to have the blood or it will reduce my mobility which makes sense. Really don't like the idea of someone else's blood in me. I know all the hard work lies ahead and the sorry bit comes with knowing will need other one doing and both repeated in years to come. Whine over! Don't know how people do both at once

You are doing so well and each day it will get easier. Im 4 weeks on Monday also had a spinal inject and now walking un aided from week 3. Once the swelling goes down and you feel you can see daily improvement it motivates you. Make sure you do all the exercises reguarly they really do help. I to will have to have the right side done in 2 - 5 yrs time but I am planning to get back to the gym soon as I can and start on building up the muscle in both of them that should hopefully strengthen the right and may be give a longer lead time to having to have it replaced. I had nausea too for a couple of days following the surgery and the morphine made me itch, as in the song by Pink! Good Luck you will be fine and time goes so quic.kly
