omg don't no where to start when I woke up In,recovery I was In,So So much pain .then they had to put a cathedral In me mind over matter could not use the bed pan today is Thursday In a little pain,gas pain and nauseated alot did I make the right decision

I felt awful the first 3 days...My catheter was in when I woke up from surgery... I had very bad nausea for a little over two days..bad reaction to the anesthesia and pain meds. When they took away my dilaudid pain pump and gave me Toradol, I began to feel better. Hang in there! The first few days are the hardest.

You made the right decision. It's rough for the first few days but it does get better. Take your pain meds and walk as much as possible. That helps work out the gas and prevents blood clots. By the end of week 1 I was off pain meds. You will be surprised at how fast you recover.

But if you feel like the pain is too much or something is truly wrong be persistent. We are our own best advocates for our health.

Also make sure you stay on top of nausea meds. If they haven't given you anything for it ask. No need to suffer or be a hero.
