Title: 6 hrs til LBHR
Post by: ibbski45 on March 01, 2012, 06:40:28 AM
Have just 6 hrs (noon) til I get a new left BHR with Dr. Knothe at the Cleveland Clinic....Kinda nervous when I shouldnt be, had my right one done 12/13/11 and thats coming along  great. During the run up to this surgery Ive been concentrating on staying fully hydrated with plenty of fluids and eating lots fiber rich foods to stop the constipation during the stay. Last surgery I was in the hospital 6 days due to blood pressure dropping upon standing for PT....also I think the Oxycodone was making me sick too...

Yep, you are probably wishing that beeping thing would shut up already, and who keeps grabbing my legs? LOL!

Best of luck, and let us know how it went.  Have some more free ice cream cups.. they are key to recovering fast!

Up walking around...feels great!  Quad muscle still has good flexibility.
