- How do I look after myself after surgery?
You can follow some simple rules to make your surgical experience more pleasant. First acknowledge that you have had surgery and it takes time to heal. Be patient. For the first twenty-four hours take it easy and rest a lot. This is a good time to read all those books or watch the videos that you have been promising yourself you would read over the last few months. After the first day or two you will start to feel more comfortable but you are still not ready to begin vigorous activity. Keep the area of surgery elevated and apply ice as directed. your doctor will give you specific instructions if needed. Take plenty of fluids and eat a balanced nourishing diet. Many doctors suggest additional vitamin C for about six weeks. Do not take extra vitamin E at this point because it can increase bleeding. It is very important that if you have any questions you call your doctor's office. You should not drive yourself for a week after surgery. You will not be able to stand up straight for several days so you must expect to have some back pain.
