Woke up, less of a cough. Just ear pain. Got dressed in my Slytherin shirt, capris that have got me through a lot, and flip flops. Trying not to freak.

All those with surgery in the next week GOOD LUCK!

How are you doing?

Have you both tried liquid acetaminophen? Rite aid carries it here and it’s their store brand.

I found the taste less offensive and obviously it not being a narcotic means it won’t co tribute to Constipation and isn’t addictive. I also doesn’t make you sleepy and dopey (but certainly isn’t as effective for pain as the codeine).

I was discharged and given pills to take. They just told me to space them out. Maybe you can ask for a tablet instead? I was surprised that I didn’t have to break any up. Right now im on 9 pills a day. I never did have a problem with them.

Hi July 30 was my surgery.

[Natalie B 23]

No longer scheduled for August 20th The surgeon decided last week he wants me to have another scope to see if my ulcers are healed and there weren't any appointments available before the 20th. So, I have a scope on 8/31 and new surgery date is 9/10. Ugh so frustrating.

I just noticed we now have over 100 pages of members, support, funny stories, and real world experiences. I love it!

Although the functionality of this board, and it's ridiculous rules drive me crazy.

I'm seriously considering starting my own board. I've even started setting it up as a way to keep busy. If anyone is used to typical message boards you get why the limitations of this site are irritating.

So if anyone wants to be part of the trial group on another site just let me know. Maybe it will take off, maybe it will just be a hobby of mine.

Me please!! Let me know if you need help!
