Hello day 2 of my new life. I woke up in terrible pain in the middle of the night last night. It was throbbing incision pain, i was able to take some codine tablets, which i was glad i had no problem swallowing. It eased the pain enough for me to be able to fall back asleep, but it was right back with an accompanying migraine too in the morning. I went to the store with my family and walked walked walked, which helps a lot with the bloated feeling, but i did go to the pharmacy to ask for pain meds that do not have codine, as i would hate to become too attached to them.

My hubby and kids have been such a great help, and my big boy is great company while everyone else is resting. It is slowly starting to feel more like Christmas and i look forward to spending a lot of quality time with loved ones and not obsessing about food.

I have given up soda as of the night before surgery, that could be also the reason behind my headaches, no caffeine from my Coke Zero or Pepsi Max. Just as well as the stuff is so bad for you anyway.

Glad to report no shoulder pain just incision pain, but as long as i use the tylanole it will keep it under wraps.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!
