hockeymumzie 181 Posted April 5, 2013 Not as bad as I was worried about. I have 5 small incisions on my belly. My inside is sore. Lying in the hospital bed made my hips hurt...I had really bad gas and finally ended up having to use some meds to get stuff going. I'm still getting rid of it. Mine was so bad it was putting pressure on my ability to breath and cough. Just too much all in there. If I bend or something it feels like one of my incisions rips. I don't think it does...it just feels that way. The catheter removal was fine. i couldn't even feel it in at the time and the removal just stung. I had an issue where where I swelled after the cath and wasn't peeing on my own. I had to run my hand under Water and kind of meditate to relax everything or they were going to recath me. It's not all that bad. The drugs were good. I'd give a lot to still have my Morphine pump. I had my hand on that button the whole time. Glade you are doing ok. I'm not allowed to bend over for a while per my surgeon. Look forward to joining you on April 11 Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX using RNYTalk 1 Nel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
