I was coughing up a lot of mucous yesterday and finally started passing gas. Lol I've never been so excited to pass gas.

What meds are y'all on? I had 4oz of Protein and I felt like I was going to explode.

I'm on prilosec, levenox, usurdol, pain med. I've been able to drink pretty good, protien hot chocolate . The gas has me crippled today. I passed a little yesterday after supositiry, but none since. I feel it rolling through my gut, but ity won't exit! I've taken gasx dint see any improvement. Wonder why im not passing it, I walked around all morning, no relief. Still coughing quite a bit, when I lay down my lungs sound raspy and I can't sleep. I'm using the spirimeter.

I'm too, having a rough time. I've taking milk of magnesia and that has helped. I just realize how small my stomach must, because I'm only getting 2sips at a time. I'm just weak, but seems to be getting every better every day

I bought gas x strips to take to the hospital with me just incase the gas is bad. I've never used them before. I pray they work. I hope y'all get some relief soon.
