Lynn,
I am sooo sorry that you are going through this! You aren't alone
though!!!!! You probably need to give your body more time to heal....I ahve
found that in the past, I take longer to heal....and longer to get through a
day with no paid meds after surgery. Last time, I was on pain meds for about
8 weeks! Should have only been 2 at the most according to my Dr......I had
some complications though.....Bladder infection, kidney infection, and
vomiting!! Boy, does that hurt after surgery!!!! I was "Off" pain meds for
about 2 months.....Adhesions grew twice as fast and twice as much that time I
SWEAR!
As for being able to have your grand daughter....How old is she? Do you need
to be able to pick her up? I have a lot of neices and nephews, small ones.
I am the one that would get down on the floor with them and play and
wrestle.....Now I can't......It hurts me ALOT that I can't do that right now.
On thanksgiving, I just had them sit on a foot stool in front of the chair I
was sitting on and we "Talked".....even the 3 year old! I was able to hold
the 2 month old for a short time.....about 15 minutes...He is soooo cute. I
really wish I could have him more, but I just can't walk with him and hold
him that much. My neice (his mother) is going to come and stay the night
soon, so that I can spend some time with him.....Is that a possibility for
you? For someone to stay with you and your grand daughter?
I truely wish you good luck!
