Two days and a wakeup...finally, surgery on Friday the 13th

[CosmicCowboy]

When I had an umbilical hernia fixed, the anesthesia/narco really constipated me, for days.

In the surgery follow up, the surgeon told me, paraphrase, "yep, that stuff shuts down all your muscles, including those of gastrointestinal peristalsis."

Which reminded me of an article that said if heroin addicts can get a clean supply, they can live, function normally forever, with chronic constipation as the major side effect.

Part of the surgery prep paper should have been "complete laxative 24 hours before surgery and then liquids/juices only"

yeah Boo you gotta have that baby by the third day or you are literally in deep .

Heavy orals. Will go back to giving myself IV infusions with a PICC line after they pull the knee. Been randomly squirting knee juice the last two weeks. Blows out the bandage.

Damn. Make sure they wash their hands real good this time.

This wasn't surgeon error. My surgeon is a freaking magician. Just bad luck to be allergic to the internal s ches they used the first time.

orals screw up the gastrointestinal biome. Need to take probiotics and similar stuff, fermented veg like sauerkraut, to get the biome back in good shape after the antibiotics are over.

Thanks boo got that covered.

Ow. Sorry to hear.

They have made some rather interesting advances in fighting bacteria recently, but the research is not quite up to the point where it has been made into a workable therapy. Will try to find the article, since I would guess you will have some time lying around to read.

Get better.

Chris Rock said Robitussin works really well, just pour some in there.

Make sure to use the kind with only Dextromethorphan, no Acetaminophen or Guaifenesin. Two bottles over two hours will have you feeling great.
