Finally Post Op and in pain



Recommended Posts

So I had my surgery today with Dr Aceves. I was the 3rd to go out of the 4 of us here. I had a hernia so he repaired that for me and they didn't give me a spinal block because of a previous blood clot in my lungs. When I woke up from the surgery I was in OMG so much pain. Neither ankle surgery, my csection or my homebirth prepared me for that kind of pain. Right in the middle of my chest my stomach just below and my back were terrible. I think I didn't have any painmeds in my system when I woke up. Here I am 12 hours later. I've peed and went walking twice. I have this little yellow pouch that I could have sworn was Morphine but it isn't dripping into my line. Infact it's hard as a rock when you touch it. Dr campos if they gave me too much at one time it would make me sick to my stomach. I wish it were later in the day so I could speak to a DR or a nurse who spoke english. So that's my story so far. I cannot wait todrink something. I'm nodding off again.

I'm feel for you. I woke up in a lot of pain too and I agree-my c-section had NOTHING on this.The good news is it doesn't last long. The first two days were bad, but then it got better each day. Hang in there!
