Wide awake in hospital room



Recommended Posts

Yes I am awake I'm my hospital bed. Not really tired but I should be lol so far everything has been ok. Still npo until tomorrow. Not hungry either but it appears my stomach

Is waking up because I can feel it growling. I may be going home tomorrow I may not, I miss my daughter. Pain wise... None I'm getting dilaudid every 2 hours. Shoulder pain is about a 4 more irritating when I do my breathing exercises. My leg compressions I find relaxing lol I do wish I had my own pillow. excuse my punctuation and grammar and spelling, if anyone has any questions for me please ask

The staff Here at Scripps green has been amazing with the exception of one cna which they

Switched to another awesome one lol I didnt even

Ask for a new one. Ok I am going to try again

For some rest god bless you all

I had a hard time sleeping in the hospital too. The bed wasn't as comfortable as I would have liked, and then all of the various nurses coming in at different times to do different things. Ughh... Why couldn't they coordinate that a bit better to allow a patient to actually sleep? But I digress... I hope you get released soon - it's easier to recover at home. Have you tried moving your arm around a bit to help with that shoulder pain? That really helped me when I started to experience the pain in the shoulder - I did arm exercises (rotating, moving up and down, across body, over head, etc).

Yeah ive had nurses coming in and out every 2 hours ughhhh not to mention the nurse waking me up at 5 to take blood I was delirious by then haha the doctor just rook my drain out and that was by far the most painful thing I've experienced at the hospital so far it's like my side muscles clenched up in a cramp almost like having a contraction it brought tears to my eyes. I'm pretty sure I'm staying til tomorrow. I will post again later I finally get to drink something yay

So sorry you had pain when he removed the drain. Luckily, I didn't have to deal with that as my doctor didn't use a drain. Take some pain medication and some rest and you will feel better. Try to walk around later today - that will help too.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
