neekoal 37 Posted December 25, 2012 You will feel great soon! I am 13 days out and my pants are literally falling off. It feels so good to hear my family tell me how great I look. It's the greatest Christmas present I could have gotten myself. Congrats on the new you and by January you will be pulling up your pants and headed shopping too!

NewMe-51 0 Posted December 25, 2012 It does get better. I'm praying for you. The O2 settled into my shoulder areas from being operated on laproscopically, that was really painful. Take care and Merry Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NancyDec20 212 Posted December 25, 2012 Im 5 days out and Had some pain in the hospital.. but they gave a scheduled pain med toradol. I didnt ask for it.. they gave it to me..kept the pain at bay.. they also had morphine set up for every 2hrs prn. and Loratab too every 4hrs prn.. didnt need any of those at all.. I left the next day.. walking helps the pain.. and it does get better. I do take the liq loratab they sent home with me. but only at night when I go to bed so I can sleep comfortably. hang in there it does get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

almo9a 1 Posted December 26, 2012 I' sorry to see that you are having problems. I have not had any major issues. I was lucky to be done with the gas pains yesterday evening and I never really had any further pains until they removed my catheter *ouch!!*. I was released this evening at 7:00 PM... Total stay 30 hrs. I would suggest that if you are having pain, there is no reason to remain stoic. Let you nurse know and they will do their job and get you what you need. Prayers going out...

Fallenangel2904 494 Posted December 26, 2012 First two days are the hardest. I had a very bad time the first two days between pain and nausea. I cried pretty much the whole first night. Day three I started to turn a corner and things got a lot better. Trust me every day is better then the last. Sending you hugs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpaige77 49 Posted December 26, 2012 Congrats and hang in there! Please! If u r having pain in the hospital let ur nurse know immediately. They r setup to try many different drugs until they find something that works. My nurse said I should never be about a 3 on the 0-10 pain scale. They had me in the PCA morphin pump and I hated that. I could push it every 8 minutes but I felt like I never got any rest because I was always waking up in pain and I kept losing the little button thing. Plus the morphin was giving me really bad headaches. They Then tried toradol and that was my miracle drug! Worked great for me! Just make sure to tell the nurse that u r still in too much pain and u want to try a different drug! Prayers for u that u get some rest and relief! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
