WTF did I do to myself?

[thia 0]

I'm 2 days out & as I lay here in horrible pain I keep thinking that. WTF I was I thinking?? Why would I put myself through this??

How long does it take for the pain to minimize? How long til I can take my Vitamins w/o crushing them and TASTING them?

I'm sorry if I sound like a whiney baby right now but that's exactly what I am.

Any responses would-be appreciated. Even the ones telling me to man up cause it gets better.

saw your post but realised it was dated 24th Feb - hope you are feeling better now - i was there just 6 days ago and wondering the same 2 days in and thought wtf - however, got through that phase and feeling much better

Hi I hope u dont mind me asking u this, but r u from jersey, and if so, did u ever hear of Dr hans schmidt out of hackensack???

The first couple days are the worst and it will get better. I promise!! I felt EXACTLY the same way.... Keep telling yourself that this is temporary and your goal is to feel 50% better than the day before. I did that and it helped. Know that the anestesia and pain meds mess with your moods too!! Walk to get out that gas and just breath. If need to listen to calm music and sit propped up in a chair or bed.

Also, just take some Flintstone Vitamins. I have taken them for the past 7 weeks. Don't subject yourself to any more inconvenience! My doctor even tells patients to take them.

FYI --- by a week out its MUCH BETTER

by 2 weeks out you can almost feel like yourself

by 4 weeks out I was sledding down a huge snowcovered hill with my sons!!!!

YOU CAN DO THIS....JUST KEEP FOCUSED...BREATHE...AND NUTURE YOURSELF
