I have the most pain I have ever had, worst when I breath in. Had to be put back to NBM this am as I'm continuously retching which hurts so bad! and I vomited black stuff! Nursing staff really tried to push me yesterday, one of them even told me I couldn't have IV paracetamol as it was too expensive, needless to say my husband wasn't impressed as we self funded! I feel awful! Did any one find it tough breathing when they were in pain? X

HI Bellatrix,

I had the same problem you did. I threw up black stuff the minute i woke up after sedation and the nurses told me its dried blood.. it was horrible. I basically slept through the first day...

every time they change the drip to glucose, i thought i'm well and am able to go for a jog, WRONG! the minute they take glucose off, i died.... lol

Anyhow, glad to know you're better and going home!!

Let's GO April slivers!!

Thanks for everyone's support, just managed a cup of tea and waiting for my meds from pharmacy, I made a formal complaint to the ward manager this morning about my husband having to wash me in the evening because no nurse had offered to assist me, and having to wait over an hour for analgesia, and getting told despite the fact I was nil by mouth I couldn't have IV paracetamol cos it was too expensive despite the fact I have scrimped and saved to self fund! I must say though the night nurses were wonderful! And my surgeon was amazing! Thanks for everyone's kind wishes! Go April Sleevers!
