My whole 2nd week after surgery I was complaining that I am so exhausted, and people say it's normal but I felt beyond exhausted and was wondering how in the world will I be able to do anything and go back to work feeling that way... Then this whole thing went down.. I have to say as soon as they opened me and drained it (obviously I'm on pain meds and antibiotics and it still keeps draining) but I already feel like o have energy. I am in the hospital but have been doing laps and it's like night and day with how I felt before I came in to the ER last night.

My surgeon's PA actually apologized to me because she didn't believe me that my pain and well being was really that bad... I guess there are patients that just can't tolerate a bit of pain or whatever so that want to come in for any little thing... But now seeing how serious my condition was she apologized and I appreciated it. But lesson learned, always ask for copy of your reports like cat scans so you can read it for yourself because apparently some doctors do not know how to read and you get mis diagnosed... Always have to look out for yourself.

Thank you, I need the prayers, still in the hospital, may be released tomorrow.

I learned to pack my wound today which is 6.5 cm deep. Really weird and painful experience but needs to be done everyday to have the wound heal from inside out. It's amazing what curveballs life throws at us, sure hope there is no more around the corner.

@usernametaken... Ask if they can arrange for you to have home care, a visiting nurse should be sent each day to take care of your wound

I decided I am going to do it myself, dis it at the hospital to make sure I do it right. I plan to go back to work on Tuesday and visiting nurses wouldn't be able to do this for me before work.

I am feeling pretty weak and very nauseous which is the worst. They gave me meds for nausea but I am not sure if they are helping much... Struggle is real...

@@UsernameTaken - So very sorry you are going through all this! Not sure if Zofran is what you are taking for nausea but if so, be sure you stay hydrated or it doesn't work. (A tip given to me from my doctor when I was vomiting so much and Zofran wasn't working....)

Thank you for the tip definitely appreciate it! Yes that's what I am taking, maybe it's because it's an off brand or something? I just spent 4 days in hospital with IV I think I am pretty well hydrated but still doesn't seem to help much. It did at the hospital when they injected into IV at least for few hours.

@@UsernameTaken - Is it the kind that dissolves under your tongue or a tablet you swallow? I found the sublingual worked much better. If not that kind, you might call a dr and see if they can prescribe that instead?

[UsernameTaken 283]

It dissolves in the mouth... I will give it a try again
