November 29th!!!

Hello everyone! I'm having surgery on the 29th of November Finally, it has been a long time coming. I have sent my before picture to Kricket I believe it is, so hopefully soon you will be able to put a face with the name I think that always makes it easier!! Congratulations and Best Wishes to everyone pre and post!!!

Well, i WOULD say congradulations, but now after knowing how bad the pain is, i feel really bad that you have to go through it!!! Remember, when your going through morphine like its air, and it STILL doesnt do it, ask for Demerol!! It works alittle bit better! ~Amy post-op DS 11-5-04

Hi Amy!!! Thanks for the advice, Im a surgery virgin LOL so I'm new to this stuff. I'm so positive about this whole ordeal that I think I'm going to go through it with flying colors. Let's Hope!!!! Here's to you Amy, and hoping you have brighter & lighter days ahead WOOHOO!! I'm getting excited! ((HUGS)) to you! Debi

Debi, Some experience pain more than others. Mine was o.****il I got home with the liquid tylenol. It was making me DUMP! I gag just thinking about the taste. I've heard liquid Loritab works well, so if you get a choice, ask for Loritab. Hopefully you won't need it! The first week was the hardest, this second week has been good. Donna

Hello Donna!!! First of all CONGRATULATONS on your surgery, and I'm happy to hear that you are feeling better!! I appreciate the info on pain meds, because as I told Amy who posted right before you, I've not had surgery before, so I have no clue about these things. My daughter has had several surgeries and I have been there for her, she has alot of trouble with the anesthesia, and the pain meds making her nauseous. Thank You again Donna. Debi

well good luck debbie and everyones pain is different so good luck and keep in touch

Hello Laura!!! Thanks for the well wishes. Good luck to you too! (((HUGS)))to you Debi

THEY ARE RIGHT -- EVERYONE'S PAIN IS DIFFERENT. BUT WE ALL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT IT IS TEMPORARY AND IT IS WORTH IT IN THE LONG RUN! ONCE YOU SEE THE RESULTS YOU WILL KNOW THAT IT IS WORTH IT! I AM SCHEDULED FOR THE 29TH AS WELL AND I CAN'T WAIT! IT IS DEFINATELY GOING TO BE INTERESTED! JENNIFER

I mean interresting!!!

LOL I knew what you meant Jennifer, I can read between the letters!!CONGRATULATIONS on your date!!! I'm not even sure what kind of pain threshhold that I have, I have struggled with migrains, for quite a few years, and seem to be able to still function with most of them, sometimes I get one that knocks me on my behind. But thank goodness they are few and far between!!! Please keep in touch! I have a november surgery folder so I can check on you guys LOL You will be in my thoughts and prayers!! ((HUGS)) to you Debi
