[Looking Ahead 239]

Trying this one more time. This site has kicked me to another page 3 times in the past 5 min.

I came home in alot of pain. Still about an 8 on scale of 10. I take the liquid pain med when I just can't handle it anymore. Drops it to about a 5. I think its the drain causing all the problems. I hope to have it removed tomorrow on my one week appt with Dr Jones. His nurse is great to call back with any problems. I went to the ER Friday with so much pain in my back behind the drain. Dr Jones met me there and had tests run to make sure it wasn't a blood clot. Tests were fine and sent back home within 3 hours. The drain and my back behind the drain is the worst pain.

I sneezed once and coughed like 3 times and suprised all of Jonesboro didn't hear me scream. I read on this site of all the great outcomes. No pain. Walking in 2 days, back to work in one week. I guess the ones in pain avoid this site due to being in bed screaming and cursing.

I have lost 10 lbs since I checked into the hospital last Monday. I can't eat alot. Im not hungry and even after preparing everything, I was lost when I got home. I used a heating pad for back pain. I think Im more thirsty than hungry. I drink alot of Water. I had to work my way up on taking in anything. Everyday does get easier but it is by NO means easy. For me, it is a VERY painful, long proccess. Day 4 post op I questioned every thing I did. Feeling scared to go to sleep for fear of not waking up. There was an emotional and phycial changed. I explained it to my mom as dying to your old self and waking up to someone else with no preperation time. Still dealing with "what do I do now" thoughts. Im on Facebook if you need to message me for any questions or concerns. Most of my friends (including FB) do not know I have done this. So, just inbox me. If you'll send a friend request, I'll watch for it.

Each person's experince is different. Walk when you can. Don't be superperson...take the drugs! Tell them when you hurt and ask questions. Have bottled Water, heating pad, yogurts, juices, things on your list from Dr Jones at home before your surgery. You won't feeling like leaving the house for a while.

Wishing you the best and I may see you in his office someday.

How are you doing now?

Still having pain in my left side. Wearing a spandex style tank top under my shirts for support and that helps the pain. I don't feel comfortable enough to call Dr Jones about any pain after the last time I called him in pain. If it gets too bad, I'll just go to Urgent Care. I noticed I have tiny Water blisters around the incision areas. Not sure if it is from the spandex or a reaction to anything. I have another appt with him in a little over a week. I don't eat alot...hardly anything. I'm down 13 lbs since surgery day. 49 lbs total including pre diet. I was able to get ahold of his nurse last week early and they called in a refill on the pain medicine. When is your appointment?
