I was just released from the hospital about 2 hours ago. I am personally in a lot of pain and i can't seem to get comfortable. I've tried to get comfortable and nothing is working. I had to stay an extra night because my blood pressure continued to go up. The reading that scared the nurses and me was 207/105. I was like man, what did i do? I've never had high blood pressure in my life and so hopefully it was just due to the pain. This is the most alert I've been since Monday afternoon. Can I use a heating pad on my left incision? That's the incision that hurts the worst.

well,

I'm about to take another nap.

YOu most totally can that left one gave me a fit too. You have to remember every day you will get a little better and stronger. I know right now it seems hopeless but I promise you will. Just try to focus on your walking and water intake for a week or so and try to start your protein.. You will do fine..Just keep your head up

Yes, use your heating pad and take your pain meds on a schedule. It's much easier to prevent pain than squash it once it takes hold. Keep sipping, walking, and burping and I hope you feel better soon!
