Re: [QUAD-L] surgery inquiry? Shoulder Replacement Surgery

[Robert Vogel]

Hi Carolyn,

Here is link to an article I wrote about shoulder replacement surgery, ( New 
Mobility September 2015)
that includes interviews from several wheelchair users that have had it done.  
Hope it helps.

No, But wish I could replace mine. I've had every test possible, but they still can't figure out the cause of my pain.

RE: [QUAD-L] Surgery

[nichole rohling]

I tried hemorrhoid suppositories and they just made me bleed (I'm on blood
thinner) and did cream on the nights before bowel program. I put it off for
a long time (about 3.5 yrs from 1st signs of problems) but they got to be
grade 4 with prolapsing and I had to do something.

 

I had surgery on the 8th and still haven't pooped. Dr wanted me to hold off
on doing suppository and see if I would go on my own, I am taking miralax
along w/ my regular stool softener and Fibercon (he said if I don't go by
Friday we'll do milk of magnesia but I'm not even really bloated now,
passing a lot of gas.  He said it's just letting my rear heal which he feels
is good unless I am uncomfortable or sick from it  ).  I had follow up
yesterday and I think I am doing great. I've only taken about 10 Norco and
some Tylenol 3 - today I didn't take anything until after my shower and was
in my chair. That was at 9 a.m.  Three days after surgery I sat in my chair
11 hrs and really I am just tired. My surgeon is even doing a house call
Friday a.m. to check my rear because it was going to be a production to do
it at his office J

 

everything I read had me TERRIFIED but they were just so bad I thought it
couldn't be any worse and it isn't..had a few bouts w/ dysreflexia, just
sweating and elevated blood pressure, 1 in the hospital and that night I
came home, otherwise it's been a piece of cake. now by blood pressure is
lowweird...I may feel different when I do poop but we'll see.

What did you try before surgery that helped?
I had surgery,like 8 years ago and was even bragging about no hemmys
recently. Well, I had some hard stools and now they are back

Dr had me do bowel care 2 days after i had surgery. I about died due to
dysreflexia at hospital.

and should've called 911 to go back to the hospital. Should've stayed an
extra day.  I rested all day Wednesday but was up in my chair all day
Thursday and Friday. Still taking pain meds but went 9 hours yesterday in
between doses.

 

The surgeon said not to do bowel program for at least a week...I feel like a
fat cow. Taking Miralax and praying I'll go when I'm on my shower chair. 

 

On a lighter note and something only quads can appreciate..I've passed gas
w/out bending over or pushing on my rear..it was a joyful noise...lol

I guess there's no roadblocks anymore J now if I can just go to the
bathroom!

Re: [QUAD-L] SURGERY

I just had a secondary closure done for the 2nd time.  I was out for 
about 2 hours with a general anesthesia. I had a perileal abscess drained last 
August and my 1st secondary closure performed in January.   It didn't 
close and kept draining about 30-50 cc of fluid a day.  I've used up all my 
granddaughter's old diapers soaking up the mess.  Now the last closure 
appears to be re-opening as I'm draining again.  The doc said he will turn 
me over to a wound care center here in town,  he's baffled.  The going 
under and coming out was no problem - just drowsy for a day or two.  Good 
luck.

Hey CtrlAltDel,
 
Good to hear your keeping well! Your reaction to me not getting into the 
squad was exactly the same as what mum said.  I believe in everything 
happening for a reason, it was just so strange what happened over my trials 
though.  It didn't matter what way we turned to try and get around it so I 
could get there everyway led us to a stubbon no, I was upset then, but now I'm 
so pleased!!  As for the tubes, there's more chance of someone having a 
complete sci getting a complete recovery without any help whatsoever then having 
the tubes made into wheelchair accessiable stations think I'm joking?!  
The UK is useless when it comes to anything like this though.  The police 
came up with a classic comment the day after the bombings, it was on the lines 
of "we are sure that suicide bombers were the ones who set of all the bombs, our 
priority now is to try and track where they are currently in the 
country"...  if it's suicide bombers then maybe start to look at 
the crime scenes?!?!?!  
 
Need I say anymore?!

Re: [QUAD-L] Surgery

[Smurfonwheels]

It was a bit of a reality check for us here too, and that's putting it 
mildly especially when they treied doing it again 2 weeks later! I can 
understand what you mean, as it was the same when 9/11 took place.  It's 
only when you know someone who's affected or potentially affected that it truely 
hits home.  
 
So many people here do nothing but slag of Londoners, but the bombers 
allowed us to prove that actually the majority of Londoners are caring and 
considerate people.  I've always been proud to say I'm a Londoner, now I 
feel honoured to say that it was fellow Londoners who helped each other out and 
showed nothing but courageous acts and emmense support to the injuried when 
tragedy struck our capital.  It's to those people and the victims who got 
caught up in it all that I have the upmost respect for

well!  thankfully I didn't have to go anywhere near London so I 
was  well out of danger.  Although having said that,  one of the 
stations that  was evacuated - London Victoria is the  station at 
the end of line that  Sittingbourne (my home town) is  
on.  Pretty scary to think that Victoria  is in central  
London.  Only some of the tube stations have disabled  
access,  although I think the bombings proves the point that should 
anything  like  that happened again, God forbid, and there was 
a disabled on board,  there  would be no way of getting the 
disabled out of the train  safely.  That's  the UK for 
you!Wanna know something  more  scary though?  If I had 
got to the GB squad trials and got  in, on the day  of the 
bombings I would've been at Kings Cross station  around the time 
that  the explosion happened..Take  care,Love

Hi Smurf,
 
I will say a prayer for you so your surgery will go well.  Take care of yourself and stay strong.  Is the 'Tube' wheelchair accessible?  If so remember to keep your eyes open and your head down!

I don't know how much I'll be around to do that in the next few days as I've got to have a operation this Thursday (2 days time).  Basically I had a bit of a accident and managed to damage a couple of my teeth.  At the moment they are planning to remove one of my wisdom teeth which thankfully got most of the damage to it, mend the gum properly around it plus mend the tooth next to it.  Finger's crossed it's going to be a day surgery thing, but it depends weather the specialist finds that he needs to do more work as when he made the decision to operate it was still all pretty swollen, so fingers crossed.
 
Anyway like I say I will be replying to your emails at some point in the near future!

Good luck getting all fixed and back to yourself.  Hurting teeth isn't 
too fun.  How did you manage that damage?  Hope to get you back 
soon.

Re: [QUAD-L] Surgery date

[Dana Miller]

I do not know why I was in ICU, never found out.  There were drain tubes,
the supra pubic was used while the bladder healed, I also could not eat
until my intestines got back on track--they had to be completely
emptied--hope you like "go-litely!"  Then the main line was because my veins
were shot.  So antibiotics, pain med and such were put in thru there. I also
had an 'ng' tube to keep my stomach empty.

Oh I do remember they had me under a heat lamp in the ICU.  I heard a male
nurse say, "who's putting cold blood into a cold patient"?  So my
temperature must have been a problem.  Once I got into the regular room, I
felt fine.  I had problems with the sp blocking up with junk, and the docs
did not believe me when I said I could tell I needed to pee.  The sp would
clog up and then I would leak from my regular place.  Finally it happened
when a couple of docs were in there and I told them I was leaking and they
were very surprized to find it true.
The docs are a lot better now and the nurses have come a long way too.  My
surgery was back in 1987 (?)  I imagine things are done differently now.  I
will be interested to hear how its done today.  Also, my 'stoma' (hole) is
to the right of my belly button and down a bit.  I'm glad its there, its
easier for me to reach as my right arm does not have the function my left
one does.  I'm a C-6 on my left and a C-5 on my right.
take care,

Dana and ?
