well i had my redo with Remzi 6 days ago at Cleveland Clinic.Surgery was 7 hours and went well. So far the pain in my abdomen and incisional site is doing well. I have a few other issues now though, nothing major i don't think.Every time i get up to try and walk i get a crushing migraine and neck pain. They are assuming now that it is from the epidural right bore surgery. I hear its common. thy are giving me Fioricet now but if doesn't subside my tomorrow they with do a reverse epidural called a blood patch to fix it. And the other issue is a lot go blood in my catheter . I originally had stents in there and told me thats what the blood was caused from. well a few days ago they took the catheter out and i went all day without peeing.couldnt pee on my own so they put catheter back in where it has been since. still bloody urine. My colorectal team and Urology team don't seem very concerned either and stated it could be a few weeks before i don't see any blood . Friday and Saturday I did start throwing up so they gave me the beautiful NG tube took it out yesterday along with the JP drain. Been on clear liquid diet all day again with no issues so far. Of course I have the usual backdoor brownish discharge still but started seeing decrease today. The pain in abdomen is like a 2 and the headache pain is like an 8 at its worse,but typically hovers around 4-5 unless I'm walking a lot .Remzi has stopped in like 3 times since surgery and said it was a very difficult surgery for the both of us. He stated at first he wasn't sure he would be able to do it, cuz of the lower portion of pouch area had a lot of area to clean out from past infections and inflammation and due to me having a small pelvis. But in the end he feels very good about the outcome. hopefully they can resolve these migraines before i leave here, which they believe could be Thursday. which would be 9 days for very major surgery.
