If you will feel a plastic tube in your arm that is called an IV...
- Scene 1 - Story
- I felt a lot of discomfort after surgery, especially where they made the incision. There was tugging and some burning. My healthcare team did their best to make me comfortable, giving me pain meds when possible and helping me distract myself from that discomfort. My (family) was a great help, reminding me to breath and focus on my recovery.
- One thing that helped me recover was being active. It is really difficult to move after surgery, everything feels weak. But one of my goals was to be active so I could recover a hero. The night after my surgery, I sat on the edge of the bed. I felt some dizziness and the healthcare team was there to help me. The next day I stood up and took a few steps to the chair. I tried to stay in the chair for as long as possible before laying back down. After that, I took frequently walks and would sit up in the chair at least three times a day. It was difficult and really helped me.
- During my recovery, I sometimes felt that I was more forgetful than before surgery and I felt like I had trouble focusing or paying attention to what was going on around me. I told my healthcare team and my (caregiver) about this and they would help me focus by reminding me of things and talking to me about what was going on outside of the hospital. Another thing that was helpful was playing mindgames with myself, like counting backwards from 20, or thinking about my favorite vacation or place to relax, or writing things and activities down on a piece of paper so I would not forget them.
- Patient Narration: It was difficult to sleep in the hospital. The staff frequently checked on me, or woke me up for pain meds. I used earplugs and an eye mask to help me sleep, they quieted the noise and light from outside of my room.
- B-roll of someone having trouble focusing, concentrating, and paying attention to their surroundings
- Patient narration: Recovering from surgery is hard work and your healthcare team with your (caregiver) is there to help you through it. You madethe right choice by choosing to join the Postop Recovery Club.
