buttrfli1 17 Posted December 28, 2012 Congrats on the break-out Liz!! Let the house go or have your fiancé pay for a cleaner. Take it easy and heal so you don't have to go back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizv123 389 Posted December 28, 2012 I fear I may have to go back. I just woke up dry heaving and crying in pain. I went from 24/7 morphine for a month to cutting it off old day. I hate saying this but I think my back got used to the angle of the hospital bed. I may have to try and recreating it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggychic 1,405 Posted December 28, 2012 I couldn't sleep laying down for some time Liz and when I returned home I returned to the guest room again with dozens of pillows to recreate the incline in my hospital bed as well. I thought I hated that thing, but my body had gotten used to sitting up I guess. I would also get nauseous when lying down flat Sorry love Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mini Me Wanna~Be 56 Posted December 28, 2012 I don't know if it would help but I have seen foam wedges that you can buy to help you lay at an incline, I am planning to get one soon due to my Restless leg syndrome. It sounds weird but if I sleep partially sitting up my legs arent as bad as when I sleep flat. Good luck and I am so happy to see that you got to go home, you have been in my prayers and now I will pray you stay home an healing comes without any further issues :} Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizv123 389 Posted December 29, 2012 Ok. I'm still nauseated but not vomiting. I've discovered I have to be propped up, and a good part of my problem is the opiate withdrawal. Still pretty sick, but not ER sick for now. My big goal is fluids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggychic 1,405 Posted December 29, 2012 Shoot for crazy low amounts at first liz...get 8 oz at least one day, take that up to 16 the next, keep going and shoot to meet 48 after a week (my docs plan and it worked). count everything!!!! vodka too!!! ;p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizv123 389 Posted December 29, 2012 My lips are blood red, so is my tongue with a god awful bile taste. Dr says it sounds like thrush. What the Hell is next? Getting a prescription for phenergen today because I'm vomiting despite the zofran and scope patch. Ugh. Also, never knew it would be this hard to take a shower.

lizv123 389 Posted December 29, 2012 Oh Liz I'm so sorry I told my fiancé I'm practice for parenthood. I have thrush, I got sick on the bed, he has to wake up every few hours to medicate me lol it's quite the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes that's the only thing that will get people through stressful times when everything seems to be spinning out of control.
