First day after coming home from the hospital
I'm doing MUCH better than I was doing the last few days.. OMG I didn't ever believe how much the gas pain was going to be.. but it was horrible!! No kind of pain medication helped at all.
I was finally able to fart Wednesday morning and was able to sleep last night. (I didn't get any sleep from 13-15th. The pressure was that bad)
Today is much better and now I've had two premier proteins, a propel, and water so far today with my chewable vitamins. 2 neat side effects from surgery is that I don't have hunger and my body temperature (funny story, I thought I was having a fever but once I used my thermometer, I found out my temp was 97.5!). I'm officially a cooler person! :D
Hopefully the main port pain (more of a mild burning sensation if my binder rubs it wrong or I move just wrong) will go away soon. Thanks for all the nice comments that I saw when I was suffering!
I know not even morphine helped that gas pain I walked my tail off from the time I got on the floor it was still.terrible...I also had to have a drain left in it doesn't hurt but it sucks to hqve it hanging around ..for a week lol but it's supposed to help.diagnosed leaks faster in case something goes.wrong......which I hope it doesn't...I go the 21st to get it taken out ...Im glad you made it home and are feeling better
