Name some things you can't do after surgery

[Brewman_Jax]

I can't audition for the spring Renaissance Festival this weekend.

I can't tryout for the pro soccer team, open tryouts this weekend, also.

:cry:

Your turn. :hi:

[Left Is Write]

1. Compete in a marathon.

[Jimbo S]

10. Especially after a vasectomy

They say wait two weeks.

[kmla]

2. Ummmm. Play the piano.

But then again, I couldn't before the surgery, either.

*faint, unenthusiastic rimshot*

[Brewman_Jax]

19. I can practice

but sitting up for more than a few minutes ain't easy. :(

[sakabatou]

22. delete

[Phillycat]

3. Um...you know...that one thing...with the stuff...

:evilgrin:

[Brewman_Jax]

9. Oh! You mean...

stuff a turkey! Yeah, that is pretty hard to do right now.

:rofl:

[JackBeck]

4. Sleep.

Too much pain.

[Brewman_Jax]

7. That's not too hard

the prescriptions come in handy.

[Richardo]

5. Perform surgery.

Although for me that's pretty much all the time. :)

[BarenakedLady]

6. Awww sorry.

I hope you feel better soon. :hug:

I've only had a tonsilectomy (at age 21). I couldn't swallow without screaming for a few days.

And 3 c-sections: couldn't laugh, cough, pick up anything, bend over, roll onto my side, stand upright, without screaming for a few months.

[Brewman_Jax]

8. I can really appreciate your pain

with this long cut below my belt line.

Thanks much. I hope to be up about soon.

:hug:

[YDogg]

11. you can't stomach RWers?

hope you're feeling better soon!

[Brewman_Jax]

13. That's original

:rofl:

Couldn't do that before surgery. :D

[ohiosmith]

12. Depending on the procedure, play pick-up sticks with your bum cheeks.

[av8rdave]

14. show off your scar-free physique

[Brewman_Jax]

18. In my case

the cut is low enough I can wear beachwear

The rump roast was not touched.

:rofl:

[av8rdave]

24. Mine was done in the 70s....the scar is large and spectacular, but

fortunately hidden from view

[SKKY]

15. Ask the doctor for a doggy bag???

[youthere]

20. Well you CAN...

but it's considered very bad manners.

[KitchenWitch]

16. ..

Have sex.

[SPKrazy]

21. ...

depends?

on the surgery

:evilgrin:

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

17. With some surgeries...

you can't have *ahem* FUN. :cry:

you can't have regular foods.

And if the anesthesia bothers you, like it did my cousin, you can't do #2. :hurts:

i hope you feel better. :hug:

Next. :hi:

[sakabatou]

23. Martial arts

[sarge43]

25. Bungee jumping after open heart surgery is probably a no-no. n/t

[Catshrink]

26. For me it was sleep...

I was going crazy from lack of sleep. I didn't want to take the Ambien the doc prescribed because I worried about becoming dependent on it. My doc convinved me to take it but I didn't. I used Trader Joe's bedtime tea and melatonin and they did the trick.

And I guess y'all don't want to hear about getting my bowels working again.

[flamingyouth]

27. I couldn't sleep after my surgery in November.

The pain was awful. And I think the anesthesia was freaking me out, to be honest.

But I did do some gentle yoga about a week later, which was great. (And I do mean GENTLE!)

Again, hope you feel better very soon! :hi:

[Richard Steele]

28. Pay the rent, light bill, etc. nm
