I'm happy for you! Mine was last Thursday and I'm already feeling much better. It's been a chore getting all my fluids down but it's a work in progress.

Hi Lisa. I’m laying here in bed after having surgery today. No pain breathing fine. Have swallow test tomorrow. Hope I pass with flying colors. Look forward to sipping on water! Keep up the good work and let’s keep in touch!

Thanks. Waiting to go down for my swallow study. Once that goes well I’ll be out on clears and then if tolerating will go home. Pain is it as bad as I thought. I feel really good.

Pain pumps are awesome! I was hospitalized and had abdominal surgery last May and they had me on Fentanyl through the pain pump. Every 8 minutes I was pressing the button. It was wonderful!

When I had my another abdominal surgery in August of last year, they had me on morphine through the pain pump. This did not work for me and I itched all over while taking it. They think I may be allergic to morphine. It was all better when they switched me to Dilaudid. Much stronger so I received it less often, but it worked with no itching. I stayed on that until I could take oral pain meds again.

Keep it up!

Thanks for the post. Yes I am a little itchy today. Have to tell nurse. I have Tylenol IV going which seems to be taking the edge off.
