Last To Post Game- Take 7 (ACTION!!)

Okay - but kind of depressed. Now that the numbing medication has worn off I am able to tell that my index finger and my thumb are still numb and tingly like they were before surgery! They had said those two fingers may not get better!

Well you have to remember -if the finger and thumb are going to get better it's going to take time-Nerves do repair sometimes but it's a very slow repair process-so don't lose hope yet

 

[ckckc2000]

Yeah - but with all the rushing they didn't give me anything to relax me until just before we went into the OR!

relax and worry-so this gave you no time to worry-always look on the bright side

 

[ckckc2000]

wait Ahhh Nothing to relax you-as in medicine-sorry to hear that

Thanks Kim I was just hoping to see a little improvement right away to give me some hope!

nerve repair is the slowest of all recoveries-sorry-I hope that you'll get some improvement soon though

Yeah - nothing as in medication until I was just ready to leave the "holding area" to go to the OR! And I had talked to the anestesiologist last week avout my nervousness and he had written in my chart to give me something basically as soon as I hit the door! Oh, well, it's all over now! And I've got to say - every person that I came in contact with was super! Which is pretty unusual for our hospital!

 

[ckckc2000]

If they said you can take Ibuprofen-you might want to-it reduces inflammation and thereby reduces swelling onto the nerve causing all the problems-it will also reduce that achy feeling

Just a Thought

Glad to hear it was a good experience

Well, at least it's good to know there's still hope!

They didn't say I couldn't so maybe I'll try that!

Never give up Hope

I think it would be a good choice-I would take at least 800mg for the 1st 2 days every 6 hrs-since it needs to have a blood level to be effective and then cut it down to 600mg as needed after that-Just make sure to eat something before taking since it can be rough on the stomach

 

[ckckc2000]

that has been a Nurse Kim recommendation

 

[ckckc2000]

OK-I work tonight-today is like my Friday-so I really need a nap

Glad that you checked in Kathy-and glad to hear that things went well

Talk to Everyone later

I swear I have a stomach of steel! Medicine never bothers it!

Sleep well Kim! I think I'm going to go take a nap too!

Take your Ibuprofen 1st and then have a nice nap-talk to you later

I'm glad to hear that things went smoothly, but sorry about the numbness still being there

You know, if it makes you feel any better..........I haven't had any feeling in part of my stomach for over 8 years now... since I had my last C-section


Of course, I don't use that part of my body very much... nor does anyone see it!!

 

[Good Ol Gal]

I'm getting ready to go to a PTA board meeting, then off to work, then we have a cookie booth at the mall tonight.. 3:30 - 7:30. So we won't be home till after 8pm!
