annam1130 40 Posted December 1, 2015 I can barely stay awake. Pain has been better since they gave me Toradol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lshaw830 2 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) If I wasn't walking I was sleeping. I was falling asleep sitting up. Well I thought I was superwoman and because I felt good, I didn't ask for more pain meds. Not a good idea. Now I'm so sore and it feels like the pain medicine they gave me just didn't cut it.

annam1130 40 Posted December 2, 2015 How is everyone doing? On my way home from the hospital and opting to not fill my pain med. It made me extremely nauseous this morning. Now we're going to relax all adenoma and watch ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpmom24 6 Posted December 2, 2015 I filled both prescriptions, pain and nausea, but haven't used either one. Took Tylenol this morning and otherwise feeling great. I've not been nauseous or in much pain. Counting myself very lucky! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
