Surgery and hospital stay protocol
What is/would be your protocol to mitigate the potential short and long-term effects of an extended hospital stay and surgery? What hacks (light therapy, infrared sauna, etc), supplementation, diet, etc. would you do pre, during and post surgery/hospital stay? I recently had an 8 day hospital stay due to pneumonia that included 2 CT scans, daily chest x-rays, multiple antibiotics including vancomycin, I was unable to leave the hospital (so circadian rhythm was also effected), and ended with thoracic surgery and 5 more days of chest tubes and hospital stay (13 days total in hospital). I would be interested to know if you would take any preventative measures pre-hospitalization and surgery, anything you would do while in the hospital and what you would do after to detox from all of the antibiotics, medications and radiation exposure and physically and mentally accelerate recovery.
