By far my best friend was the heating pad. I brought it to the hospital with me and to this day, use it :thumbup: So comforting on a sore tummy and now it helps when I have gas pain, but that might be TMI. LOL

what I used most of all for the first 3 days and nights was my recliner, a heating pad, and a pillow :thumbup:

I gotta agree, Recliner, heating pad and pillow were VERY important. I would have gotton no sleep for days without them.

broth and a pill cutter also.

I had my house so organised and clean, that I have had no guilt at all to lay around doing NOTHING for several days.

I have been grateful I bought some V8 vegetable juice - heated up in the microwave with some pepper - the broth is starting to make me feel a little sick.

Some unsweetened cocoa with warm milk of a night before bed has been very soothing.

Oh, and lovely boyfriend calling in to see me every night, doing any chores, but going home to his own house so I can get rid of the gas without holding back :-)
