5 hours post op

ok, well i am on demerol and morphine right now, causes me to be wired and cant sleep, however im in minimal pain right now because of those beaautiful drugs. i feel like i have the stomach flu, the best way to describe it. i went pee as soon as i got into my own room. i also went on a walk after about 1 hour post op. it does feel good to walk as many people have said on here. its helping to get rid of the gas. as for the gas, this is gonna sound bad, but dont judge me please...when i was younger i used to smoke pot and if anyone has ever smoked it then you know it gives you this feeling like you have air trapped in your lungs and your esophogus and you could just get it out if you burped really good, however you are never able to get rid of it until the high goes away. that is how this gas feels right now. its not painfull to me, just annoying.

im not supposed to have anything by mouth, but i snuck some gum in because i had a cotton mouth really bad since i havent drank anything since 12am this morning. none of the nurses have said anything about it, and im not truely putting it into my stomach anyways, its just helping my cotton mouth.

oh, by the way, i got the whole room to myself! its a singe bed room only so i know i wont have to share with anybody! which is great because i dont really feel like getting sick from somebody else right now.

anyhow, i guess i'l post more later......I'm finally on the other side sitten on the losers bench!!!!!!!

It'll get better, I promise... I used little sponges on sticks to help me with this cotton mouth thing. Dip it in water and suck, baby.

Next day after my surgery I had my first shower. What a bliss! Thinking of you...

Congratulations Sassygirl! I love that you posted so soon after surgery. I'm absorbing every word as my surgery is right around the corner. Be well...keep chewing (the gum) and hopefully you'll get some water really soon! Reb

Wow, posting 5 hours after surgery. I was still groggy though the pain meds helped me in that regard.

Enjoy your new adventure, I am two weeks out and eating pretty normal except for solids to come in another two weeks.

yeah the meds work the opposite for me, if they are supposed to make you groggy, then i am wired. if they wire you then im groggy...lol
