Getting surgery in a hospital is a lot like owning a boat.
Your two happiest days are the day you get the surgery to have the problem fixed, and then the day you leave the hospital. Hoping that day is today for Mrs. Snik. I'm guessing the rehab for that is mostly using the spirometer and other breathing exercises to build back lung strength, and then general getting up and around to regain general strength and endurance. Laying flat on your back for a few days makes anyone weaker, especially when we get older. |

When she gets home, she'll find it more comfortable to sleep in a recliner for a couple of days (instead of laying flat in a bed). Also, referred twinges of pain will happen for a while as there are lots of nerves between the ribs (the surgeon will try to avoid them as they lay against the rib, giving room to not hit them). How's she handling the pain? In my case, I never needed anything stronger than acetaminophen after waking up. Hopefully she'll get there quickly too |

I do have to go in for more tests and another biopsy on a few weeks. I’m pretty sure nobody will drive me there or bring me a sandwich. |

Tell us what we *can* do…
I think it’s safe to say that a lot of us wished we were local to step up I have IBS and can certainly cook for myself and people with similar issues (like Crohn’s)…and even help with dog walks/care, errands, etc…
Since we’re spread out all over the country though, what *can* we do to help? I have seen this forum pull together before, no reason that can’t be done again. I can send food from Goldbelly with just an email address (to preserve privacy). Grocery store or restaurant gift cards, too. Would any of this be helpful to you and your family?? I know it’s late and I’ve just spent all day doing Christmas cr@p (dipping Oreos and baking peppermint brownies), so I might be over-tired/way off-base, but just thought I’d throw a few ideas out and see what, if anything, sticks. If nothing else, you have our thoughts and prayers |

I had to fix my truck to ensure we have two vehicles. That sucked. I’m doing all the household chores and working full time. I’m so tired. But that’s why god invented 5 hour energy which should be called “30 minutes of anxiety plus 4.5 hours of headache” but that probably didn’t fit on the label. |
