I’m so sick of it, honestly. I had some wound separation in the back so it’ll take me a little longer to heal. But, yall.. how long until you felt halfway normal? I’m 3 weeks post op and also have begun voiding trials. I have a sp catheter in and had full meta. I’m still incredibly uncomfortable walking. Some parts are still a bit swollen. My tip is sensitive. Everything still feels stiff. I feel behind on my healing. I’m still taking pain meds. I’m still stressed I’m gonna pull a stitch. Sitting is soooo uncomfortable. How long until you could bend down normally? How long until you felt you could sit fine? How long until you felt you weren’t going to pop a stitch? How long until you could walk fine and not hurt or feel like you may have overdone it?
Urination- I can definitely do it and I actually can get most out but I feel like I’m peeing through a coffee straw. How long until that goes normal again? Will getting the catheter out help? I have a strong sense of urgency when I do need to go- like almost to the point of I can’t hold it and nearly pee myself. Is that normal?
Yall… I’m so stressed. My surgery was October 8th. I’m worried about going back to work November 16th. I know a lot can happen in 2.5 weeks… but I work a physical job for the airport. I don’t want to go back in pain or struggling.. I haven’t had job anxieties for a bit and I’m starting to have it like real bad. I’m stressed man. I’m also so sick of this. I want to feel normal again. I’m mentally taxed and it’s driving me crazy. I feel like I’m gonna lose it.
