Is there anyone out there with a February surgery date? I found out last week that mine is on February 1. Was shooting for December 06, then hoping for January 07, now thankful it's finally set for February! My surgery is scheduled with Dr. Malley in Kansas City.

LOL. Mine are already sore so stop making me laugh!

Marissa,

You might want to check in your healthfood store for "Oxbile" --- I haven't tried it myself, but a friend's mother swears by it. Says it works wonders for those suffering severe gas pain.

Other than that, walking around, and keep taking your pain medication. If your shoulder hurts, try making a hot/warm pack for it: Pour some dry, uncooked rice into an old pillowcase, tie it closed, zap it in the microwave for about 2 minutes...

Hey, at least we're laughing. I wasn't sure if I'd ever laugh again after the pain I had on day 3! OH the gas.....Made me so nauseated, I was terrified I'd end up wretching over the throne....never did, though. So NOT funny...

Krysia,

I swear you are my rice toting pillowcase hero right now.

*runs to get some rice*

Ohhh the pain of laughing. LOL

Krysia, how in the world are you doing this with a baby to take care of?? I'm having a hard enough keeping track of myself....

You're my HERO!!!

TG --- Didn't your doc prescribe you some anti-nausea med, like liquid phenergan?

My doc prescribed a freaking pint of it, because he doesn't want me puking at. All. I haven't used it much, save for the Splendid Splenda Mistake and BurpFest '07... :mad:

Glad to be of help, BabyGrl! You can buy those rice bags too, in all shapes and sizes. Might as well, too, with the money you're saving on food. LOL! :biggrin1:

*frowns, looks in own pocketbook, and dodges a moth*

Maybe not... LOL...

OH the gas is back folk the gas is back.

My wallet has been empty for at least a week now. I did however just fill a pillowcase with some white and borwn rice to heat up lol.

I had anti nausea meds, but it was in suppository form....I used one, and it didn't help that much. Altho, it MAY have had SOMETHING to do with the fact that I didn't ACTUALLY have to go hurl...

You're my HERO!!!

TG,

 

Ha! More like a baby, a 5-year old, an 8 year old, and a husband! :mad:

 

Bwaha!

 

Just kidding.

My 8-year old is really grown up.

 

Bwahaha!

 

Actually, my husband's been a real sweetheart.

 

In all honesty, I'm thinking I'm running on pure, 100%, Grade-A, Ultra-Pasturized Insanity! :biggrin1:

 

(I could've sworn I've mentioned my Most-Excellent Pain Medicine. Didn't I? )

LMFAO! Suppository form? Ugh. That's much less fun. Ask your doc for liquid phenergan. :mad:

 

BG -- I hope Uncle Ben helps!

Krysia--Sheesh! I just don't know how you do it!:hail:

My hubby has been SO awesome this week, too.:clap2: I'd properly thank him, but I think it may be a couple more weeks before I feel up to that....:heh:

Is the rice supposed to smell cooked? My this is a heavenly heat pack. Not only do I want to sit on it but I want to eat it too.

um i just caughed and i thought i ripped out my stiches! can that happen? this friggin bubble is really irritating it goes away and comes back! pther than that i can lift basically anything and i dont actually have any pain in my stomach or anything its my arm! how weird! and that darn bubble!

TG,

*snicker*

 

BabyGrl,

Since it's heated, it probably will smell cooked. My mother-in-law has one that she added dried sage too... Smells yummy. Me, I'd add some dried sweet basil. I love the smell of basil...
