Me + Anethesia = Yuck

So I did it. I was scared in the operating room saying to myself, what the heck am i doing? :smile2:

BUt there was no turning back. It really would not have been so bad had i not reacted to anethesia the way I do. Even with all the anti nausea meds I felt sick. I couldn't wake up too but I forced myself so I could leave. I could not talk to anyone because it made my nausea worse. I did not sleep all night with nerves so I probably just need to sleep, i tried but keep waking up.

The only pain I feel is the soreness of the belly, not horrible just really sore. Getting up hurts because gravity is pulling the cuts down, but still tolerable. I have a nagging headache. No gas pains, I am pacing my room every hour and I do burp. So I had chicken broth, ice pop (throat is sore too), and water. What else is good to have today? Is it ok to sip water out of a straw?

 

I am on liquid Oxycodone with tylenol, generic name is roxicet 5/325. Also anti nasuea Zofran.

 

More to come tomorrow, Hopefully I will feel like wonder woman :laugh:!

Thanks for the support everyone, you have no idea how much it helps!!!!!

I would avoid the straw. It's hard to judge how much you're drinking at a time. I am SO glad to hear from you and that you made it through ok! I knew you would! Sugar Free Jello is good to have too. Also hot tea with no milk. But you can add Splenda. This calms your stomach too. Plus a HOT liquid is nice for your stomach. Chicken broth made me gag, so I avoided that.

Day two is kinda rough, so tomorrow make sure you try to walk and when you need the pain meds, take the pain meds. Rest as much as you can. And an icepack on the port incision will take the pain and swelling down dramatically.

Let me know how you're doing!! Be well!
