How long does it take to recover from a reversal
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2009 5:25 pm
Hi all I had my surgery to have the lymph nodes removed from my peri aortic. At the same time then did my ileostomy reversal. All went well, they say they got it all again. I see my oncologist on Monday to see where we go next. We are planning a trip to Disney in 2 weeks and I am wondereing am I crazy to go that soon after surgery? I plan on taking a wheelchair with us when we go cause I know I will not be able to survive the long days of walking. We had to postpone the trip twice already once for the liver surgery and once for the chemo after the liver surgery. The kids are so excited about going I don't want to disappoint them again, plus I really want to go. I just hope I can survive the drive it is about 17 hours. How long has it taken some of you to recover from your reversal? I have been doing laps around my living room to stay moving about 6 5 minute walks. Any other suggestions? Thank you
