surgery scheduled
I am finally scheduled for my surgery on Dec 21. Not my favorite Day to have surgery but dont want to wait any longer my pain is becoming to much and I just want it over. Nurse told me I should be able to come home on the third day which will be the day before christmas eve. i sure hope Ill be feeling well enough to make a christmas dinner. My daughter will be coming over on christmaswith my two grandbabies. My hubby is a truck driver and just started with a new company therefore on able to take time off yet I am 11 hrs away from my family ( except daughter) therefore will be home alone after surgery I have no clue what to expect because I never had surgery before Hope I can handle this alone.Can I make a ham dinner after two days home What u think?
I suppose I will cook everthing before surgery and have reheated food for christmas. Maybe I will have to surrender and let my daughter do the cooking.:) I can make the pies before surgery or just get frozen ones this year. Not my favorite way to plan christmas but am so glad to have heard from the nurse today. she said she is going to call me concerning pre op which i am anxious to here what thats about
Cooking so soon after a laparotomy? I seriously doubt you will be up to cooking a full Christmas dinner after such a short amount of time. This is one occasion where the family is going to have to cook for you (your daughter, perhaps?) or you may just want to keep it a simple Christmas gathering without a full home cooked dinner. Or find a good take out restaurant that delivers, or prepare something in advance that can be frozen and reheated. You won't be able to lift ANYTHING 5 pounds or greater, and that eliminates so many things in the kitchen, it will really be a problem without someone doing the lifting for you. You will be moving around like a 90 year old for at least the first week, possibly two weeks. Let your family fuss over you and serve you this year! It's too soon for you to be doing things like that.
Just have a successful surgery and take the pressure of Christmas tradition off your plate this year. Just enjoy your family and take it easy so you recover properly!!
