Who's with me on Oct. 23rd?!??

I dont kno. It hasnt crossed my mind lol. I hope NOT

I was not cathrazied. Just drink water and walk helps the gas pain and take your gas stripes. Good luck. It was a great experience. Let you know the pain tomorrow.

Hey so when they wheeled me into the operating room I said to the team " this doesn't look like Greys Anatomy in here! Why are the lights so bright?" Then we joked around about that and something about dreaming of cabana boys and then I was out!

Point is, wow was it bright in there!

Big day today! I actually slept through the night! But I have my t.o.m...figures on the heaviest day today..how embarassing!!! And I have cramps! Thoughts and prayers to all the bandsters today!

How did everbody do? What pain meds did you get? I was given Tylenol 3 and its making me itchy.

I had Tylenol also but gave me no relief from pain, now on hydrocodone and take Benadryl because it makes me itch, pain is so much less on the new meds.

Surgery was on Oct 23.... released from hospital Oct 27!!!!! Not a pleasant journey so far......

Jrsmith, how come you were in the hospital so long? I Was same day. Sorry to hear your not doing well. Can you explain your journey so far?

WEll my surgery day was the 23rd...got to come home the day after;m Thursday was the worst day for pain...haven't had much gas pain. The hospital satff was wonderful. My deah husband has been awesome taking care of me. I went to an auction this morning and then we went shopping for a bit; I was ready to come home and rest for an hour or so after that. I go back to work Monday & I do a lot of walking so I am trying to build my stamina up. Also, I'm worried about my water intake after I return to work. I leave my office for 1.5-2 hrs at a time making 'rounds' in the nursing home & I can't carry something t drink with me at all times...other than that I think I am ready to try this new life-style with my day job !!! So far I have not had any bad experiences.

So I am 2. Months out, no fills yet, my port flipped ,so Monday I get to have another surgery to fix it...grrrr
