Hi Momma. I don’t have anymore pain from any of the surgical wounds. Though, the stitching is quite irritating as I still have stitches in the butt wound. I have yet to ask when I’m getting the stitches removed... haha. Also, the area does get itchy at times, but it usually goes away after awhile.
As for eating, I have some sort of complication that has left me unable to eat or drink. I don’t think it’s from the surgery. I’m in the process of trying to refeed myself, but I have severe nausea after drinking just a few sips of juice. I was on bowel rest from April last year, and had my first of 2 surgeries in July. This is where my problems of nausea began. My thinking is that I have developed either severe dyspepsia, or even maybe gastroparesis. Though, in my last surgery, my surgeon found a part of my bowel severely constricted by adhesions from the first surgery. Doctors are not really sure why I am still not able to eat after the adhesion problem was fixed. Another factor could be that I was on bowel rest for too long. As for now, I am on permanent TPN. I don’t think your son will have this problem. Someone else might want to chime in on this.
Eight weeks recovery does not sound unreasonable. I’m sure your son will feel better in no time.
