Welcome to Connect, @memw. How are you doing? Did the home health nurse have any suggestions, that you may liked to share? Only if you wish, of course. We look forward to hearing from you.
Hello
my surgery was 6 days ago in St Louis, MO., so we are about the same. I came home from the hospital Friday. Have not needed any pain medication except tylenol, and that is just preventive. The surgery follow-up nurse called this moring to see how I was doing and if I had gotten the new prescriptions filled- I hadn't. So Am working on that. Not anxious to have 4 more drugs but don't want a stroke either. The home health nurse is coming by later. They want more blood work and will check incisions. Tell me how you are doing.
