We've got find to each other . I'm in room # 302 . It's 5:00 am and I just got another shot of morphine. This gas pain is no joke! I was Dr. Ponce's first surgery at INT at about 10:30. Waking up was horrible. I cried and cried and cried. The gas pain really bad. But then later I walked and walked and walked. We you're up, come by my room during your walk if you feel like it. If I'm passed out from the meds just wake me up.

Awwweee... sorry you had a hard time coming out of anesthesia. I hear so many people come out of it with no problem but for me, when I had my gallbladder out, coming out of anesthesia was one of the worst experiences of my life. I just remember feeling so much pain and thinking in a very real and literal way that Hulk Hogan, yes Hulk Hogan was slamming me into the ground over and over again. The nurse said it took her for ever to get me to utter something coherent.... I just kept crying and asking "WHY would ANYONE do this on purpose?".... now here I am again preparing to go under anesthesia..... on purpose. Yep, I want this BAD!

Hope you are both happily recovering!

So far so good!!! I was with Dr. Ponce. Just had to change my iv. I have tiny veins. Gas pains come and go but right now they seem to be increasing.

[charissa70737 19]

Just got more meds. Counting the minutes until they allow my first ice chips. Still having gas pains and just generally sore but doing fine. I met petraluxor. She is doing ok but having some nauseau and gas pains. Imbthankful for only very little nauseau so far. I'll be soooo glad to go home. Everyone here is nice... But I miss my hubby and my kids really bad!

Hi guys. Okay, I hate to admit it but this is sucking royally. Oh my gosh. Charissa has little nausea but mine seems to be increasing all the time. And I am fairly certain that one of the meds I've been given is making me sick also. I vomited a little shortly after getting meds both yesterday and today. Doctor isn't sure which med so he's going to try changing my antibiotic. Everyone kept saying the day after surgery is sooooo much better but that is far from what I am experiencing. I'm almost starting to regret moving here because I'm not getting any better at all. I can't burp at all. In lots of pain, not just discomfort but pain. I'm sorry this post is such a bummer. I've been reading all these pofrom Dr. Ponce's patients that sounded like people felt better the second day. It has been nice to meet Charissa, though. Hi Charissa. I wish I had your recovery.
