brandy88 151 Posted March 13, 2013 Well home but feeling flu like almost skin sensitive to touch super cold... Been able to drink 6 oz of Fluid at least and had 4 oz of chicken broth and couple small bites of Jello sf, trying Protein Shake half of ... My stomach is super sore and painful. Don't feel really gas like just pain. And find drain odd and hurts around so bad. Can I use heating pad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newat52 1,613 Posted March 13, 2013 Welcome home and congrats! You are doing great! Yes! The heating pad will be your best friend! I have a heated throw and I am wearing it out. Funny, I am a week out and I have been cold since the surgery. Sit under that heated throw every time I sit down! My little dog just snuggles right up against me and off he goes! i guess Charlie Brown was right. "Happiness is a warm puppy" :wub: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
