LisaCincyRN 13 Posted July 26, 2013 I really want to sleep!!! Went to bed at 10:45. Got up at 12:30. Can't go back to sleep. Tried walking, tried pillows, tried I Love Lucy. Not in pain. Don't have gas. Just can't sleep! Sent from my iPhone using VST Sorry you can't sleep. I have never been a good sleeper. I usually work nights so my schedule stays messed up. Since the surgery (7/22) I don't think I've slept more than 3 hours at a time. Like you, no real pain or gas, just wake up:) Right now I have the FBI files on TV and I'm playing on the computer. And of course...sipping water! lol 2 kw2walker and ShariM735 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope I get to start my proteins Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElaineB 207 Posted July 28, 2013 My throat has been killing me. I finally thought to look at it and it was covered in white blister like things. And I've had horrible diarrhea all day. I called my doctor and he called in a pill plus a swish and swallow and I already feel a little better. My doctor was so nice too. He called me back in less than 5 minutes on a sat evening, said it was no trouble at all and immediately called in the scrips, then texted me to let me know it was done. Love Dr. Jawad. It is thrush. I can't remember who just said they had thrush, but are you taking something for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
