I had my HIPEC surgery done on March 9 .
They removed a part and scraped my diaphragm. He said he spent a good deal of time there. Took my gall bladder, some of me bladder, rectum, some liver, resented my original resection, gave me a (temp) ileostomy, cleaned the pelvic a.d abdominal cavity, let no stone unturned. 10 hours in surgery total.
I spent 30 days in the hospital. I'm not sure how many in icu, as surgery had its own. I had an emergency surgery, the ileostomy started leaking. Septic. I had been walking the halls, but had a and the doctors said 4 days bed rest. That killed me. After four days, I could no longer walk. I made it four feet out of my room. Heart pounding, breathless.
Today. May 1st. I'm still feeling the effects of extreme exhaustion. My bathroom is about 30 steps away from my bed, I can barely make it there. I'm having a hard time finding motivation to get up out of bed. My poor family's been taking care of me and I'm sure they are getting tired of it.
Any advice to get out of this ?
