    2 days till op

    Good Luck!!! I am a week and a day out! I will be honest the first 24 hours are hell! I got sick from the anestesia and threw up a few times. After the 24 hour mark you will be sore just remember to walk!! it helps out also I started taking gas x melts 24 hours after surgery every 4 hours. It really seemed to help I never really had gas pains. Good Luck!!

    6 days out

    I am 6 days out from my surgery and this morning I over did it!! I was drinking a protein shake. I mixed some chocolate protein powder with some PB2 with almond milk and ice. Well yesterday I had a plane chocolate (pre made) and drank a small bathroom cup full and was fine so today I did the same. HUGE mistake I started burping then I vomited then in PAIN. All I could do is lay down. it hurt so bad. I will try not to do that again....

    Huge ass boil ! Ouch ! ?

    its something with your blood, that is what the doctor told my nephew anyway he gets them like three a month. he has to have them cut and they drain. if it is still the same size in a copy of day go to the doctors.
  7. I am sitting in the business center at the Marriott Hotel in Tijuana. Thursday Day One: Left New Orleans around 8 am arrived in San Diego around 4 pm. Called Abraham To come pick us up from the airport. (person little story) We left home at 8 without eating or drinking and I forgot the snack pack at home so we went all day with just water on the plane. By the time we landed in San Diego I was shaking and was about to pass out. So went went to a little place in the air port and some tortilla soup and OMG it was soooooo good!!!!! But anyway Abraham came pick us up from the air and drove us to the hotel and OMG driving in Mexico is CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!!!!!! We checked in with the help of Abraham because they did not speak much english you need a credit card to check in, if you use debit make sure your bank knows you are out of the country. I had to call to get them to let it charge. Once we were in our room Abraham ordered room service for us our free chicken broth ( the grosses stuff i have ever tasted in my life!! it was water and chicken fat!!! and a homemade orange popcicle. The popcicle was pretty good. Turned on the TV only about 4 channels that are in English. Hope you like CSI and Criminal Minds cause it plays almost all day! we watched alittle TV and went to bed. Abraham was coming to pick us up at 7:30 the next morning. Friday (D day) Day Two: Woke up took a nice long hot shower the soups in the hotel and bath and body works! packed up the room went down stairs you HAVE to Check out or they will charge you 25 dollars. Waited for Abraham to come pick us up. When he came we went to the hospital when you walk in it (to me anyway) it was kinda like omg what did i get myself into because it like the back of the hospital and you go up stairs to a little waiting room fill out some paperwork ( Abraham helped once again because of our lack of spanish and their lack of english) We were not even finished filling out the paperwork and they came get us to bring us to our hospital room. They started with my husband first all we could unstand is EKG and they handed us a hospital gown. so we took our clothes off and got in the gown there is a safe in the hospital room! we looked up or phones and etc... 5 nurses came in two for my husband and two for me and one peron that draws the blood they did the EKG wrapped our legs and drew our blood within 10 minutes! They took my husband into surgery first he was gone for about an hour and half. They then came to get me they rolled me to see my husband then i walked into the operating room got on the table met Dr. Lopez and the other doctors. Then I woke up in my hospital room sick to the stomach. I threw up a few times and was very sick to the stomach for at least 24 hours. okay it is time for me to go i will finish this post later....
