Have some discomfort. Nurses have been great. I dislike the catheter but am glad I don't have to struggle to get up and pee right now. Overall doing well and blessed that no nausea as of yet.

I just got home and the one thing I cannot get rid of is the nauseous, any body have any idea of when the pain and the nauseous ends

They dosed me up with several anti nausea meds prior to surgery and gave me Pepcid. Call your doc office and see what they recommend for you. Only time I got nauseated was doing the swallow test. I hit my highest pain level this afternoon after the swallow test to check for leeks.

I pray you get comfort soon.

I found the page but how do I locate the group. The page just shows thank toys to supporters and a few recipes.

Edit..... I figured it out I blame the pain meds... lol

I am home and have my recliner set up with everything around me. Now to get the husband to quit being a mother hen for a bit and I may be able to catch some zzz's because they don't let you rest well in a hospital. I have an amazing husband and he is so good to me so I should just let him pamper me. :)

This first night home is rough.

Couldn't agree more Paula, I'm in so much pain it's almost unbearable, and all I keep doing is questioning myself on why I did this, here's hoping today will be a better day.

Did they not send you home with pain medicine? Is it not a strong dosage? I have discomfort but no severe pain. But I am taking my pain meds as prescribed and not waiting for it to wear off before next dose.

If you don't get relief from your pain by morning I think you should call your doctor and get some stronger meds. No reason to hurt that bad after a surgery.

All would be right in my post-op world if I could just pass gas...
