For those awaiting surgery, my thoughts /tips.
make an email group to update friends and family and let your spouse or friend update everyone.
don’t have visitors the first day...except main caregiver. First day was really tough, but each day is better
let others help your spouse after surgery to give them a break❤️
get off narcotics asap and just do Tylenol (I was off first day)
if nauseas, ask for more / different med.
peppermint doTerra for nausea
pains in chest, shoulders , back is from gas...walk, use breathing spirometer, I use doTerra essential oils ...pastTense , deep blue,
have your liquids ready for when you go home and a schedule
having my Water bottles ready each day helps measure my liquids.
I put all my Vitamins out and take on even half hours throughout day.
I did Fiber and merilax pre and post surgery
Feeling pretty good at 5 Days post op😊
just a little sleepy.
Getting my Protein, liquids, vitamins in👍🏼
Good luck all awaiting surgery🙏☘️
