Since the surgery, I cannot see well. My eyes are so fatigued. I'm seeing blurry and double, cannot focus on anything. Please tell me it's the exhaustion only?

I felt this way too, but only while I was under the influence of my Ultram. I took one pill mid day yesterday (day 3 post op) and haven't taken one today because of how it weirds out my eyes. Do you notice if this is in conjunction with while you have meds in your system or is it seemingly unrelated? Keep me posted. :)

It is my first day home post-op, and no painkillers at all. I noticed it as soon as I came to in recovery. It can also be residual narcotics in my bloodstream. At least I want to believe that.

Do you have a scopolamine patch (for nausea) behind your ear? Extended use causes double vision. ( Like greater than 3 days). Maybe they forgot to remove it? The patch is commonly given right before they anesthetize you.

There was a tiny little circle sticker behind my ear. i found it yesterday and removed it. I had no idea about it. I never felt any nausea. Interesting.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
