Will you guys quit showing that dang thing! I'm supposed to get a colonoscopy sometime soon.

 

Glad your doing well Mike. Praying you keep doing that way. Don't forget to harass the nurses during your stay. That's what they're there for.

HI Mike, Get well soon !! Ihope everything comes out alright! and that you get to have a HappyNew Year!!!!

 

Dave110,

Don’t try to force the recovery too quickly.  You were just opened up yesterday.  Be ready to push your recovery a little when the time comes, but you are going to have to let your body rest a few days to recover from yesterday’s trauma to it.  It will be amazing how fast you recover when you look back on this, but right now is “one day at a time” time.

Good luck has come my way. My pathology came back it is NOT muscle invasive cancer. Basically doctor has to go back in a few weeks verify it all gone. Still gotta deal with my right kidney yet. Not sure if it draining properly.

Glad to hear that.  Hopefully good news on the Kidneys next!  We are all pulling for you!!

I would not worry about a colonoscopy. Thats the other side. Nothing to it. The only thing I did not like is right before they put you out they have you hunker your butt over to the side of the bed. That will make think, but mercifully they put you out right after that. Then its over and you go home known the wiser as to what actually happened. And no, i dont wont a souvenir video. 

I dunno @dripley. Having the 'other side' messed with by a total stranger while I'm knocked out doesn't really appeal to me any better. Guess I'm just 'chicken'

That's the thing. I cherish being able to say that. And after the first time you can't say it anymore :duh:

I felt the same you do and did not like it one bit. Other than them positioning me in the bed there was nothing to it, but again it is the thought that kills ya. I remember the first time I had my prostate checked. I told the doctor that I was not going enjoy this. His response was "Neither am I. I am just a lot more used to it than you. Now turn around and drop your drawers." What other choice do you have.

 

I would have never made it as a woman.

Actually it is cancer. Its not muscle invasive cancer. This means the doctor can shave it off and it will not require my bladder and prostate to be removed.

This very good to hear. Hope you are resting well.

Yeah, it has been an adventure for me. Now I've got to mention that I've never been to a hospital, I've never been to the ER before either. Since Christmas its been a very stressful days. Now once I got the hospital I was diagnosed also with high blood pressure as well. Which delayed my surgery a slightly as they set me up a bit differently. Rolled me in and slid me on the table gave a bit of oxygen...

 

(Blackness - Nighty night)

 

I woke up to vomiting from the drugs. Ugh. That sucked somewhat. I was rolled into my room and I was greeted by @BrianAtSmarty (and his wife) and @MoparMom . That first night was rough. Wasn't the pain that was bad was the constant in and out of the nurse coming checking my vitals and change my saline bag for flushing my bladder. I requested something to sleep. After that was put in my IV was gone... 

 

(Blackness - Nighty Night)

 

(Thursday, Jan. 03, 2019)

 

Now woke up 4 hours later felt much better. Now soreness kicking in a bit. Got some breakfast and continue to heal. Later in the afternoon, they requested I try walking the halls. I managed to walk a full lap no big issues other than standing up my land legs where wobbly. The staff got me ready to go home that night. All my drugs brought to my room and explained to me. So forth... I called @BrianAtSmarty and told him to come get me. By about 4pm MoparMom and BrianatSmarty showed up to get me. At that point, I must of been hurting more than I knew but I wanted to go home. BrianatSmarty helping me with shoes and socks I was sore started sweating. Got to the wheelchair and managed to get downstairs to the lobby. Started feeling really bad, hot, sweating, etc. I told my transportation guy to take me back up stairs have me checked out. I got wheeled in my room...

 

(Blackness - Fainted)

 

Next thing I remember is John (my Nurse) and Greg (Transportation) was calling my name and waking my up. John called Rapid Response Team. My room was flooded with people. Everyone testing some part of my body. Clothes were being peeled from my body and cooling my body temperature down. After about 2 hours of testing and checking me over... It was that I was able to tolerate more pain than I should of and caused my "vagus nerve" to cause a reboot of my body (fainting). We all agreed for me to stay in for another night. I got dinner and fired up TV and went to sleep. 

 

(Friday, Jan. 04, 2019)

 

Woke up to Jem my night nurse reminding it was time for my morning walk. Swung out of bed and got to my feet slowly. I only made a half lap. I was starting to sweat and feel sick. Made back to the room. They had the doctor check me over again. He said my vitals are good and I need to get moving. I recollected myself again and start forcing myself to sit up. OMG! that was really sore to do. Later on, I started to see another patient doing laps about 3 in a burst. I got my daytime nurse to come and try again. She suggested using a walker. Yeah, not my idea but why not. Made one lap. Started to feel better. Made the second lap and got sore. I forced myself to sit up for breakfast. Using my ab muscles to pull myself forward to eat. Not fun but helped a bunch. Plowed through a chef chicken salad. Saw my guy again making laps. I rang for the nurse again and requested to make some laps as well. I finally caught up to him just walking on my own (not using the walker) and told him to thank you he was a driving force to make me get rolling again. I even had the Chaplin come to my room and talk to me and say a few prayers for my recovery and healing. Later on. The doctor came back and checked on me he was happy and said I was ready to go home. John my day nurse kept telling me I was faking it. I got discharged and headed for BrianatSmarty place. 

 

I've got to mention that St. Luke's Hospital staff are excellent people. They take care of you properly and keep you safe and healing. Everyone I came in contact with has been excellent and great people to talk to. Thank you from Mopar1973Man to St. Luke's Hospital Staff in Meridian, Idaho.

I like this story about a what great place to be and the surgery and recovery and all, but what about the part where they had a beautiful night nurse doing laps with you so you would get up and exercise?  :thumb1:
