home from surgery

ok i am gonna be the one handed typist for awhile .. well surgery went ok suergon did not tell much to hubby other than her pain was justfied and her bone spur actually cut the tendon in half not a good thing . see doc tuesday. this slung is a doozy high tech stuff with a built in cold pump pain is pretty bad and getting pretty sick to pain drugs ugh...wish i could stop vomiting.. ugh .. guess no pain meds for me are out lisa

Lisa, So glad to hear you made it home. Hang in there, girl. I just returned from the orthopedist...I have a torn ligament in my wrist. because we can't take NSAIDs, he gave me an antiinflammatory patch . Did your doc give you this? It will help with the pain, you might want to ask him for one. I is called FLECTOR PATCH. Rest and feel better Shar

hey thanks for the idea.. will ask the doc about it.. icing does help some so werid all i been dreaming of food like making zuchini bread custard.. comfort food.. pain = food in my head i got on the scale and gained to 212 but i was dressed and have this sling contraption on and iv fluids don't think starving 24 hours made me gain lol not stressing

I'm glad everything went well. Just don't try to do too much all at once. Take it easy and keep up on your pain pills. When you start having pain take one. It is important to keep ahead of the pain. ( sorry that is the nurse in me talking). It is a good idea to discuss alternative pain meds with your doctor. There are many types of medications out there in patch form. Ask him about them. So glad you are home. Jan

glad to know you are home okay Lisa, I was wishing good thoughts for you on Friday. Hang in there, and get rest as much as you can. Inky

Lisa, Great to hear you are home and the surgery is all done! Good luck in your recovery! Take care, Dianen

glad your home hope you stop getting sick from the meds!!

thanks everyone got a shot of tordal ... some needed relief and did get some needed rest this afternoon gave me rx for darvacet not the best pain relief drug but enough to take the edge off pain w/o making me vomit so far.. they said i could come in tommorrow for another shot yipeeeeeeeeeeeee lisa

Hi Lisa, I'm glad to hear that you are home and OK. I hate those pain meds, too-some make me extremely nauseous, and the others make me very depressed. Either way it's a bummer. I hope you are starting to feel better, and it must be a relief to have that shoulder taken care of! It sounds like it was pretty serious, so it's good that you did it!
