Pain pump??‍♀️

I was told after surgery I would go home with a “pain pump”!

One that I had to pay for. I’ve never heard of such a thing. My surgery date is August 18, 2021. If I could just make it 6 more days on this Liquid Only regimen. I’m missing food so bad my heart ❤️ hurts.

I got a pain pump called On-Q which sends numbing medicine to the incision sites on a preset frequency through a catheter. When the medicine finishes you just pull the catheter. I had surgery on Nov 8 2021 so still using it until 5 days. Have a pain med, Gabepentin that I take 3 times a day. Still have pain sitting down and standing up and very sore. Hoping it gets better soon!
