Tuesday was the worst day because they switched me from morphine to some puny pain med that didn't work for me. I was nauseated and they gave me some meds for that. I got up and walked several times throughout my stay. Around Wednesday I was starting to feel somewhat better by wednesday. I wasn't able to drink much liquid because the gas pain was terrible, but I kept walking, which helped to relieve that. They put me on tramadol which has been the best with the pain control. I continued to improve wednesday, and was able to be discharged on Thursday. I was still unable to get a lot of liquids in thursday, but I kept sipping on water most of the day.
That brings me to today (Friday 12/16)... Doing ok... sleeping alot... I am currently sipping on some milk, trying to get a little nutrients in. I am a little worried about not getting in a lot of nutrients. I weighed this morning, and I have lost 17 pounds since I started pre-op... 7 pounds since surgery. I am continuing to hope and pray for healing. Keep me in your prayers, and good luck to all of ya'll on your journey! Merry Christmas also!!
Let me know if you have any suggestions for nutrients or healing!
Best Wishes,
Rachel
