Top Tips For Kidney Donation After The Surgery
September 4, 2010
If you are preparing to give your loved on
a kidney then you’ll be getting lots of information from your doctors and
nurses. This is the advice that
they won’t give you,Coach Outlet, from someone who has donated! Here are some top tips to help you look after yourself after
the surgery.
Remember you are in charge no one knows
exactly how you feel; it is your life and your body. If you are in pain and the nurses try and
fob you off, demand to see a doctor don’t be a hero,jordan retro 5 sale online, you’ve already done
that. It is also the doctor’s
decision when you can go home be very nice to them,www.retro8phoenixsuns2013.com/retro8phoenixsuns2013.com.It is not your job to look after the
recipient you are in no fit state.
Let the nurses look after them do not start carrying stuff for them as
you would do normally you are probably in a weaker state than them. Some hospitals actually separate donor
and recipient in different wards for this reason, and I can see why but I was
very glad to be in the same ward as my brother. Start eating five pieces of fruit and
vegetables a day as soon as humanly possible. Constipation is a real problem if you have any morphine
based pain killers; morphine,air jordans, codeine etc. Bananas rock (but hide them from any dialysis patients as
they can’t have them!)Don’t be embarrassed about taking a plastic
chair into the shower with you when they finally let you take a shower,jardan grape 5. However you feel, after a few minutes
you may be glad of the support while you rinse out your hair.Don’t reach for anything. I think you are naturally cautious of
picking things up,Coach Outlet Store Online, but reach for things without even thinking. You will be surprised by how much pain
you can inflict on yourself just by reaching for a cup of tea or the remote
control DO NOT REACH FOR ANYTHING,jordan retro 5 2013.Go to your GP (or the recipient’s GP if you
are not at home) as soon as possible, they will give you lovely strong drugs,
even if the hospital won’t.Keep snacks or biscuits close at hand so
you can eat something when you take painkillers. Taking them too often on an empty stomach can unsettle your
stomach. (My favourites were stem
ginger cookies as stem ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory.)Get yourself into a comfortable chair as
soon as you can. When I finally
got home and into an armchair (as opposed to hospital chairs, which seem
designed to inflict pain) I actually wept with relief. Alternatively pack cushions (you can
never, ever have too many cushions after surgery and you may indeed fight people
for them.)Cystitis even if you don’t usually suffer
from cystitis, because there are stitches in your bladder it is very. My remedy
for cystitis is as follows but use whatever works for you: drink huge
quantities of hot fluids (tea’s the best) and then try not to pee for as long
as possible,jordan retro 5, hot water bottle and paracetamol and natural antibacterial agents
(such as garlic) might help.
Nowadays I also swear by Manuka Honey (10+ strength) which I find is
great for stomach bugs, chest infections,retro 5 grapes, anything bacterial in nature, so yes,
please get some of this in, just in case.Wait,air jordan 5 retro release date, wait, wait and wait again before
taking a bath,pre oder grape 5s online. You may be told 7
-10 days, but taking a bath may well cause your wound to open up, so play it
safe and wait until you’re really sick of showers. It is so not worth the hassle of going back in to see the
surgeon because your wound is weeping (and it’s gross.) Also, if they give you that see through
plastic bandage stuff, think twice.
I cannot tell you how gross that stuff is on a weeping wound it made
me gag and trust me when I tell you that you DO NOT want to throw up after
surgery.Never underestimate the power of the hot
water bottle and paracetamol,pre oder grape 5s, even if you found it totally useless for period
pain,cheap grape 5s for sale. When it comes to wound pain
this combination rocks (although it doesn’t really compare to an epidural –
when it works),cheap air jordan 5.If you have to go back into the hospital to
see anyone make sure that you take lots of drinks and snacks,www.foamposites.info/foamposites.info. Unfortunately, as soon as you are an
outpatient, you no longer get lunches and cups of tea and they may well leave
you sitting there for hours.Swimming is bliss, the water supports the
wound and all your freaky muscles.
Just don’t go in too soon.
I wish I had gone in sooner, but if I was to guess I would say leave it
until you are comfortable taking a bath, and can walk round the park once
without having to spend the next day in bed,jordan 5.Order all heavy shopping over the internet
– but don’t leave it till the last minute – they’re always late.Never listen to Radiohead. You’re looking for something to listen
to, you flip through,retro 5 grapes, you think, oh yes I really like this one, five minutes
later you’re sitting on the floor blubbing. Don’t go there.Remember that the people around you don’t
always know how you’re feeling – let them know by whinging and moaning at all
times,grape 5s 2013.Insist on a physio. Either via your surgeon or your GP, ask
to see a physio for some follow up
or you may,Retro 5 Grap, like me, end up creating
problems in your body, which will sporadically surface over the years,jordan 5 online. If you can’t get physio on the NHS you
will usually be able to get a free course of physio if you have a private
health care plan at work,jordans 5 grape. This may
be something you do at long intervals over months or even years as you get back
to normal,jordan grape 5, but once again this is something that I really wish I had done sooner,air jordan 5 retro 2013 grape!Although you will not be advised to have a
massage for about 6 weeks or maybe longer after a serious operation there are a
whole host of other lovely healing treats that you can have. My older sister booked me in for a
pedicure about a month after the operation and it was wonderful – especially as
there was no way I could have got down there to do it,grape 5s realese date 2013! Look into other treats, maybe even try
a few out before the surgery so you know the therapist, after all, you deserve
some pampering,grape 5s for sale! Remember, when things gets tough, that every day and in every way you’re
getting stronger, and there will come a point when you’ll be able to forget all
the bad stuff, and you’ll be able to look at the person who has your kidney and
look in the mirror and feel genuinely happy for both of you.
