I arrived home just before 3pm yesterday, sore but pain killers soon delt with that.
The procedure was done under local anesthetic, not painful but a dull pushing feeling, especially when he was getting the old box out. Surgeon prefered stitches to glue, I told him I hoped he was a neat sewer!! Back in the ward I sat in the chair, was given a snack lunch and eventually discharged. Driver collected me and it was back home.
Took pain killers as the local was wearing off. Two more before I went to bed, slept sitting up for 8+ hours. DD2 had looked after DB very well, he was uncomfortable, said his back ached, so he was treated to paracetamol, which he also had before he went to sleep. He now has a cushion, the nurse came yesterday, examined the red bit on his bottom, no broken skin, so left ointment and discharged him.
We had shepherds pie for supper, I had cooked it and kept it in the fridge.
It's so good to hear all went as planned for both you and DB and that DD2 was such a good helper.
ReplyDeleteGood, too, that DB has a pillow and cream to help deter any skin breakdown.
Now you need to be mindful not to lift anything heavy or reach with your left arm and just be careful with yourself for the coming week or so. Healing is an annoying slow process as we age!
I'm trying to work myself up to fusing the layers of the baby quilt. Do pray!
Hugs!
