:update: HI DEZ,AND CHRISPY, I MADE IT THROUGH MY GALL BLADDER SURGERY :clap2: ALEJUAH! I HAD A FEVER FOR TWO DAYS BUT CALLED THE DOC HE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS PROBABLY FROM ME HAVING A LITTLE COUGH FROM A COLD I HAD BEFORE I WENT IN. I DIDNT LIKE THE FEELING AFTER SURGERY (DROWSEY AND LIGHTHEADED)BUT THE PAIN WASNT TOO BAD. I JUST COULDNT STAY AWAKE. THEY HAD ME ON 2 PERCOCETS AND THEY KNOCKED ME OUT, SO WHEN THE NURSE CALLED I ASKED IF I COULD TAKE 1 PERC, AND 1 MOTRIN INSTEAD. SHE SAID THAT WOULD BE FINE. THAT'S WHAT THEY GAVE ME WHEN I HAD MY C-SECTION, SO THAT'S WHY I ASKED.THAT MADE EVERYTHING SO MUCH BETTER. I CAN STAY WAKE NOW. NOW I HAVE TO FOCUS ON LOSING MY 10 LBS. IN TWO WEEKS FOR THE OTHER ONE. IM KINDA EXCITED BUT NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FEELING FROM THE ANESTHESIA AGAIN. TALK TO YOU GUYS LATER THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT! -
