Two days after surgery

I'm home and the most pain I feel is in my neck and shoulder. Been using Ben Gay strips and heat and cold pads. Helps some what. Wasn't prepared for pain in shoulder and neck. Not much problem with the abdominal area, very little pain, even though I had hernia repair also. Better to walk and sit up as much as possible. Strictly on liquids, jello, water, crystal light, popsicles. Popsicles are my lifesaver. I like using the water bottles with sipping top, helps me sip on the water all day. Not too bad of nausea, just a little when I have eaten something too fast. Can't wait to get rid of the pain in my neck. I would suggest to have a slanted orthopedic pillow to sleep on as well as a neck pillow, something I didn't think of but I am very happy with them now. Pain medication tastes the pits, but it does it's job, however makes me very sleepy. Trying to do without it until night time. I found if I sip it slowly with a sip of water I can get it down easier. Where's the cherry flavor when you need it? Got to lay down. Alls well!:cry
