Q: Surgery...
asked by: Eyes Wide Shut on January 15th, 2007
Especially EHEALTHy
Ok ladies...Well i'm going under the knife soon.

About 2 years ago, I had surgery on my tailbone to remove a cyst. The Dr. Told me there's a 50% chance it will come back. And guess what...

Soooo....I'm going to have 36 stitches in my ass crack...How fun huh? It's actually 3 layers of 12 stitches. They literally fool with my spine.

Then(2 years ago) I didn't have a child and could sleep through all the pain. I'm not going to be able to sit correctly for about 6-8 weeks. I won't be able to wet the stitches either...And their right above my problem...God this sucks!!

Sooo...I just thought i'd tell you all that I have to go under the knife soon!!

Ok, I gots *hella* dishes to do!!!

Sarah

Yea....I can manover around to not get them wet..It's washing my hair that's a problem. Cuz when you wash your hair, you ass crack cathes all the hairs that have fallen out of your head! Ha!

Man...Having this surgery + a baby...Isn't good! Baron might have to take a week off just so he can take care of the baby. I might go stay with his brother, and he can take care of the baby. He doesn't work because of hiss disability! But he's awesome wit .Oni and she loves him to death!

When I felt it yesterday, I threw up. Literally...I felt my asscrack, felt the bump, bent over and vomited. I was nausious alll day yesterday. My nerves had gotten the best of me. Because this surgery is recent and I still vividly remember all of the pain...

Oh yuck... When are you having it done? That really sucks. So are they going to cut you open like in your crack? I'm not poking fun, i'm seriously wondering. You said it was right above your problem, i'm just wondering how you'd be able to wipe yourself without pulling stitches or being in terrible pain. Or geez, even sitting sounds painful...

Well, hopefully you'll have someone to help out with oni. I'm sorry you have to go through that!

Aww sarah, that sux royally! Have you asked your brother in law if he'd watch oni with you? That would be awesome, because then you could rest and still be around oni.

Do they give you good stuff for the pain (or rather, did they give you good stuff last time?)

Oh my god. My neighbor just came in my yard and shot a possum 3 times without killing it. It went under .Baron's old car and sat and bled for a while.

I started crying and puking at the same time. He(the neighbors we don't like) shot it once, twice, it started walking, and boom. It just sat under the car and kinda wobbled across the street.

I know these animals are mean, and they can bite, etc. But I hate seeing an animal get shot. Esp. 3 times.

At 1st I though he shot my dog, because they were outside. Yall....I'm gonna have to go on this note. Witnessing something die was not on my agenda for today...I'm throwed off now...

yea, the stitches are literally about 2cm from my anus. You wanna talk about hard to poop! I'm totally numb down there and the anesthesia constipates you. Then I don't wanna push a rip a stitch. Bleeeehhh!! I hate it!!!

When I wake up from surgery i'll be on my side. I won't be able to sit correctly/painlessly for about 2 months.

Baron's brother .Jimmy (to the far right), .Baron(in the middle) and .Baron's brother .Leslie(to the left)


will hopefully take care of .Oni while I rest! If not, i'm going to have .Baron take a week off and then i'll take over.

I'm soooo not looking forward to this. I have to call the Dr.S and see if they accept medicaid and go from there. I really want the same Dr. That did my hernia and 1st tailbone surgery to do this one...He knows me and my situation.

Bleh! I had a ganglion cyst on my left wrist. They kept draining it with a needle, and it kept coming back. Eventually I had it removed, but my left hand lost about 20% of its strength. It's still not 100% Neutral

butt surgery must be miserable. Meh! Is .Baron taking time off work to help you with .Oni?

I had a ganglion cyct on my right wrist!! It came and them left. Then it came back bigger, and hurt more!!!

My ped. At the time told me that it was wrapping around my tendon, that's what was causing the pain.

He said I would have to have it removed. But later that week, I got pissed and slammed my wrist on the table! Talk about huuuuurt! In the next 3 days...It was gone Shocked it hasn't been back since!!

I asked my Dr. When it vanished if it would come back. He said if it was hit hard enough, it would dissolve...Heh...

Still no sign of it...So maybe he was right!
