2 Days Post Op

hi everyone,

 

To those who wished me well, thank you. Im officially 2 days post-op... I'm able to keep more liquids down but omg my pain!!! It's not "give me the meds" pain it's more "I wish iwas farther out from surgery so I could breathe normally" pain.... I just feel like the anesthesia is still in my lungs... Trying to breathe it out but ugh! Not working.... Any suggestions?

 

also, I can't seem to stay awake.... Is this normal? I know my body is trying to heal, but this isn't my first surgery! It's actually my 5th and I'm soooo not used to this sleepy feeling :/

Do you're lung exercises. They should have given you one of those breathing things where you suck in real deep. I made sure to use mine every hour and it helped alot. Good luck and God Bless!

They should have given you one so that you will get the anesthesia out of your lungs. But try to take a good deep breath every hour and I know this hurts, but you need to try to cough some too. That helps. Maybe call your dr's office and see if they can supply you one.
