Ice Packs!!

There were many moments after surgery when I started to feel light headed and nauseous. Thankfully, I knew enough to ask for an ice pack and place it on the back of my neck. (learned this when I got light headed once giving blood) Worked like a charm and stopped me from being naus. (I did not want to throw up!!) I kept it with me at all times in the hospital and the first couple of days at home. It also helped me to soothe the migraines I got from the morphine!

Just wanted to share that tip because it was a huge help to me.

If anyone else has some similar tips like this...please add them

thank you so much for sharing,

Thank so much

Heat pack felt good all over... Lower back, tummy, I walked down to the microwave, put it in, walked for the two minutes while it heated, and walked back every hour. The warmth was a nice little reward, and an hour later, I walked again.
