gottobeme 81 Posted April 13, 2012 Jesscaba - thanks for letting me tag on along on your topic. I'm not in too much pain right now but think it will kick in later. Although I have been extremely tired since surgery I wasn't able to sleep at all until I got home then only for about 1 1/2 hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jesscaba 24 Posted April 13, 2012 Jesscaba - thanks for letting me tag on along on your topic. I'm not in too much pain right now but think it will kick in later. Although I have been extremely tired since surgery I wasn't able to sleep at all until I got home then only for about 1 1/2 hour. I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is pain or pressure but I do know it's not fun. My nurse said they gave me the max dose of morphine and I had a real hard time staying awake. Are you nauseous? My email is jesscaba@aol.com. Maybe we can stay in touch and embark on this journey together? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
