Why would we need a Facebook page when we can do the same thing on this forum?

Just easier to post to and view pic of each others progress,etc..it was just a thought I wanted to throw out there and see what the feed back would be.

Had an emotional breakdown today.... I was actually crying for an epidural...lol. Had just been to the bathroom, I started to go back and froze with pain. I couldn't move. Just started crying on my husband's chest. Pain meds are great! If I had waited ten more minutes, I could have prevented all that. FYI...Try to plan things around your meds!

Jessica, I am so sorry for the experience you are having. I am saddened when I read the pain you are in. My thoughts are with you buddy.

Why not set the page up and invite whoever wants to be invited. A secret or closed page on FB is only accessible through an invitation.

I'm interested, just easier to maneuver, but will still use the forums here.

hang in there jessica we are all pulling for you! Timing your meds is a very good idea i plan to take that advice. I think a push before you attempt using the incentive spirometer, walking, and even moving in bed is a good idea if you need it do it!

Wow..look at all of us.what a great team..if I do a Facebook it belongs to all us.what would everyone like me to name it? It would be closed just for us so I need to make sure everyone could find it...

Why not set the page up and invite whoever wants to be invited. A secret or closed page on FB is only accessible through an invitation.

I'm interested' date=' just easier to maneuver, but will still use the forums here.

I just wanted to becareful that we didn't get people on the sight that could just post whatever they want.regarding hateful or mean things. With the post closed we can post on this forum that we started a fb page and anyone is free to join but if it open to the public then any pics you post are also open and anyone that is on fb can make comments

Do any of you have babies? I'm starting to wonder how crazy I was to do this with a 9 month old. I am going to have help with him' date=' but not picking him up for at least two weeks sure sounds rough on the both of us. My surgery is Tuesday. I'm excited, anxious, scared. I only had to do a 4 day liquid diet. Today is number 3. It hasn't been as hard as I thought. It is weird how often I catch myself automatically thinking of eating something and I have to remind myself not to eat it.[/quote']

I have a 19-month old son and my doctor cleared me to lift him nine days post op as long as it didn't hurt me. He weighs almost 30 lbs. It was a rough nine days on him because he didn't understand why I couldn't pick him up. My 6.5 year old had to help me get him out of his crib and I taught him how to climb into his car seat. Good luck on Tueasday!!

Just easier to post to and view pic of each others progress' date='etc..it was just a thought I wanted to throw out there and see what the feed back would be.[/quote']

I'm definitely game for a private FB group. I would still use this forum too, but I'm on FB more.
