Ugh.. Can't catch a break (just venting)

My sons teacher is positive for COVID and has to quarentine for 14 days. As of now he is asymptotic and doesn't need to be tested. The original plan for day of surgery was my mom was gonna keep him til my wife gets off work, and then she'd have him that night and the next day. But on the 7th we had a miscarriage due to ectopic pregnancy and she had to have her left tube removed. So she is on lifting restrictions. And my son is 14 months and doesn't walk. So my doc already said that by Monday the 16th i could puck him up carefully. I just have no clue what to do. Probably just cancel it and reschedule, but then my deductible wouldn't be met so my free surgery becomes $2500. Im on a fixed income so no way to afford that . Maybe its just not meant to be

So sorry to hear. Is there an extended family member or a close friend who could help out (either by letting your son stay with them or by staying over to help out your wife)? Would it be cheaper to pay someone to stay over the night and day your wife will be home with your son rather than starting over with a new deductible? Sorry things got so complicated, I hope it works out for you.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
