Recovery has been slow with a few set backs now and then. I started back at work on Monday August 12. Wednesday August 14th I went to the ER due to excruciating pain by my incision and nausea. They admitted me during to not knowing the cause of the pain. After running tests, ruling out blood clots (huge relief) and then thinking it was blood leaking from my kidney, they determined that there is inflammation and fluid (this is typical fluid after this type of surgery and not a leak) they are treating with an antibiotic and also that on top of it there is muscle pain from ALL the muscle they cut through to get to my kidney (yes there is muscle under there...lol) I am now on a steady dose of ibuprofen and am starting PT on Tuesday to help with the muscle pain. I was discharged on Friday and laid low this weekend except for bringing Tanner to hockey Sunday evening. The current regime seems to be working... we will see that throwing PT into the mix does... hoping it helps with sleeping more comfortably and healing even faster so I can be me again.
