The OCC and Dr Ariel Ortiz?

Any suggestions on what to pack and take with us for the surgery and stay in Tijuana?

WOW! Good job :). But really though......back to work on Monday? Seriously????

I know, but I dont really have much of a choice.

A day and a half later and the only real discomfort is the gas rising up my back and under my ribs. I have been walking, but may need to do a bit more. Ihaven't drank much either because every drinks makes the gas hurt more. Wondering how I will ever get enough fluids in? I feel ok. Ready to get this drain removed in 2 days. I go in tomorrow to get the bandages changed after my shower. I've been sleeping off and on.

I promise it gets better! If you just focus on sip wait a couple minutes, sip & wait, you will get your fluids in. Keep on walking. You are doing all the right things! And I will be thinking of you back at work on Monday. I did the same thing and wish I would have had another week to recoup. It wasn't ideal, but it can be done. WAY TO GO! You are going to ROCK your sleeve!
