Last night sucked to say the least. So much pain. No nausea tho thank goodness. Today I sipped SLOW and seemed to be ok but am not getting near enough Protein or Water so dehydrated. Pain is a little better today but still sucks

Tomorrow is another day and I hope we all start feeling better and are able to get into a routine with Protein Water meds and walking

Good luck......we got this ????

Still quite wobbly on my two legs but they told me that I probably can go home after my last blood test. To drink is ok but when it hits the stomach it still hurts.

Every new day will make us all feel better

Ok friends!! Be careful at home!! The hospital is full of helpful tools and at home you need to find things to help modify your space!

I went to lay down and nap in my bed- well there aren't the bars and I felt like I about tore my gut- omg- it really hurt-

I'm probably going to sleep in the couch-easier to get on and off-

Just remember, that even a sneeze is connected to your tummy!

OK I tried just taking liquid tylenol this afternoon instead of the narcotic. So far so good.

If anyone has not tried using the heating pad yet, it works!! I had a wonderful nap with it today.
