tigerbelle 328 Posted June 5, 2013 I remember they tried to give me some liquid Lortab before they released me from the hospital...I couldn't get that stuff down; I think I would have to be in some awful pain to use that, and I've had to drink some pretty horrible stuff for other tests and such Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted June 5, 2013 I received some Breakfast today and may be discharged this afternoon. That is great news.

Mitchell 3 Posted June 6, 2013 I'm doing well. Getting adjusted to my new life. Learning what my new full is and the warning signs if any. How are you doing? I am struggling a little with pain and nausea. I am scared to death to put anything in my mouth. Reading everyone's that is far out post op writing about this time being a vague memory helps :-). I called the md office today and told them I feel worse than I did the day I left the hospital. I think I need to drink more... It's scary for me though...

NurseGrace 509 Posted June 7, 2013 This is one of those things you just have muscle through. Theres no trick to make it easier. Get extra sleep if you can and stay away from the TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mitchell 3 Posted June 7, 2013 Feeling a little better this morning took a pretty long walk, made my son breakfast, did dishes etc then took another nap I definitely have kept the tv off pretty much. I've been out to my garden a couple times to to yank a weed or two. I have only gotten three milkshakes down since coming home. I'm going to try to get another one in this afternoon. Each day is a little better, I am just looking to be better right now :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
