Microdiscectomy Week1&2 - Hospitalization - Post Op

Day 1: Fully on bed. Impact of General Anaesthesia was horrible. I was fully on drips. No liquid or solid foods allowed due to fear of vomitting. Lips were dry and literally I was begging to get a few drops of water.
Day 2 and Day 3: Still on bed. Only liquid food - juices, soup and tender coconut. Still on drips.
Day 4: Was made to sit and walk.
  • Started with solid foods
  • Started with small walks of 10m and slowly reached 50m by end of the week
  • Remember to weak back belt always - particularly when you get up/into bed and when you go for toilet.
  • Use proper posture to get out of bed without twisting your back.
Complications: Urinary Bladder weakness and Constipation
