Surgery Question ?

Good morning,

I will be traveling to Toronto (TLBC ) for my surgery. They say that you have to have someone to come pick you up after surgery. What happens if you don't. Do they make you stay there longer ? :)

ALOT! I went to the drugstore and compared the two. In order to get one adult dose it was almost like half a bottle of childrens. Honestly, after the first night, I did'nt take anything.

i couldnt find liquid anything!!!! we went to 4 different drug stores...... i just bought a pill crusher and threw in the pain med and chewable gravol in there and took it with some sips of water

I think this may be the route that I take. Seems easier than drinking half a bottle of childrens Tylenol.

Andrew, you say that now...just wait till you taste all that bitter flavour!! UGH!!! I tried it....once... LOL....then decided that I deserved better!

uugggggg! Yeah! Tylenol is grooooss.

(btw, you can buy 'junior strength' chewable tylenol, which is 160mg (children's is only 80mg, and extra strength {adult} is 500mg)... so you only need to take about 3 to equal 1 extra strength. Plus, they taste good!)

Okay, maybe I will rethink that plan. Looked good on paper.

I am going nuts trying to get the best bang for my buck in the Tylenol dept.

You should really get the surgeon or even your GP to give you liquid codiene. Man that stuff is good. I was stupid and threw mine out after, since then there have been many times I woulda liked to have been in that codiene world again.lol.

I have a coedine allergy. Did anyone get anything besides liquid coedine. I am a suck, and I hate pain. Maybe some percocet?

LOLLLLLLLLL

i didnt mention that part..... but the orange flavor gravol masked it..... slightly..... :phanvan

I had thought about taking a dose of liquid tylenol & then adding a crushed tylenol to it to increase the dose.

I also just got back from the Wally Mart, & was looking at childern's meds. They have the Equate Jr. stregth aceteminaphin which was $3.78 for 100ml (160mg/5ml) and the Jr Eqaute Soft Melt tablets for $3.96 (160mg/tablet).

When you consider that an adult dose of Extra Strength Tylenol (2 pills) is 1000mg that is 6.25 childrens doses, which will cost about $1.20.

I think that I will get some of the soft melt tabs for the trip, that way I dont have to deal with liquids.

Does anyone know if we are able to get the Tylenol GoTabs in Canada?

Andrew

Hey Gaffer I don't think that you can get the Tylenols to go in Canada yet. I haven't seen them anyway. Tylenol does have a canadian website that is supposed to list all the pills and things that they offer in Canada. Worth a shot to look.

Well, I got all the ore op stuff done . It was kind of a rush as my surgery is feb 2nd. I asked my Dr. for the liquid codine , and I got it how about that! I am actually surprised !

I was planning on staying down town at a near by hotel, so I would just grab a cab.

Carmen is still feaking out over the whole thing, so who knows what will happen.He believes it is too close to my trip to Egypt and I don't need the surgery.

I discussed it with TLBC and they feel it would be ok for me to travel. My surgery is Feb 2 and I leave for Egypt on Feb 26.

Hi, I hope you enjoy your trip to Egypt!! I lived there with my Husband and daughter. He was a goverment worker and we took an assignment there. LOVED IT!! Have you ever been there? We lived in Maddi. How long will you be there and where are you staying? I also hope you are feeling great for your trip.
