Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Try some black tea with a little ginger in it. When I had surgery before, they gave me that in the hospital to help with nausea and it worked. I give it to my kids when their little tummy's hurt too. Feel better soon!

I tried typing earlier and kept falling asleep. I made it thru, yippee. Pain, ugh, horrible. Can't seem to get a nurse for pain med. I push and push button and no reply. Thinking its a bum button cuz no reply whatsoever..

So glad to hear you made it through!! Have you tried yelling at the top of your lungs (if you can) They'll rush right in then! Or you can always call from your phone. Hope you get some relief soon!

Will try that

That sucks Gen! I think they should give you a pain pump! That would alleviate them all together. Try to rest up and feel better.

Do you measure? If not you can start if that will help how you feel. I understand the feeling. I think it is a natural feeling for all of us to have. We did so much to help us out. But measure, put your faith in yourself cuz you can do it :-)

Blood pressure is running 50/80 since yesterday. Dr said cell count looks good and heart rate is proper. But I told him I did this last time. Low BP in the hospital, but speeding rate when I'd wake up at home, 1 time I passed out. Might be doing more test.

Prayers for your speedy recovery Gen.

I need to find a new protein shake I can tolerate. I have been drinking the premier protein shakes from Costco because they don't make me sick. Would anyone like to share what brand and type of protein shakes has worked for you? Maybe I can try them instead of drinking the same thing everyday.
