Kirstyn1226 8 Posted September 29, 2012 Sophia, Thank you! I cannot believe that it worked out the way that it did. They had a cancellation and rather than having to try to call and see if anyone could move their surgeries forward, they asked me if I wanted it! I said "Oh heck, yeah, I can do Monday!"

Darla5060 68 Posted October 1, 2012 Kirstyn, that AMAZING! I'm so happy for you!!!! We'll be thinking of you and you'll be in our prayers!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirstyn1226 8 Posted October 6, 2012 Darla, Thank you for the well wishes and prayers. Surgery went well in and of itself. The nausea afterwards, however, was awful. They gave me five different medications in the recovery room to try to curb it and I was still gagging/ throwing up violently on the way to my room. When I got to my room, the nausea stopped for the rest of the night. Then the next day it came back with a passion and, finally, they gave me a very painful shot in the arm and that put a stop to the nausea. However, I apparently pulled a muscle in my neck with the violent vomiting. And, although, I don't need pain medication for anything truly surgery related, I am having to take the pain medication for my neck. I can't sleep at all unless I'm taking the pain medication. I have an appointment scheduled with my PCP next Friday but am hoping that the neck pain will be gone by then and I won't need to go. I can say that it is very strange to only be able to drink so little. And love the fact that the smell of foods I would normally crave stink to high heaven, therefore, causing me no desire to eat them! (My husband and the kids had pepperoni pizza yesterday and I almost vomited from the smell). Anyway, I am doing pretty well, I think. And can't wait for the next meeting so I can see everyone again! Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shrinkydinkme 221 Posted October 6, 2012 Thanks so much for checking in Darla, glad you are doing well. I will continue to pray for you and hope your neck improves quickly. See you in November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
