Rough 1st Night

Hey Ladies. I had a rough first night. I don't think I slept that much and I was in pain. By the time I left the hospital and got home, the pharmacy was closed, so I knew then I was in for a rough night. My biggest pain was my left shoulder. It was hurting SOOO bad. This morning I feel a little better. I FIANLLY got to take shower. That was nice. My husband went and got my medicince this morning and now I am very sleepy. I am going to eat my "big"meal and go to sleep. Until next time

Hi TaReesa, I am sorry that you had a rough night. Now that you have your pain medicine it will be much better. Everyone deals with pain differently . For the first five to seven days I took the pain medicine every 4 hours. I didn't want to wait until I hurt before I took it . The next week I took it once during the day and right before I went to bed. I did get the refill, and I took it every night before I went to bed. It just really helped me have a good sleep, and rest is what your body need now. It is hard to look at the few scars I have now and know that inside my plumbing has basically been redone. I am sure it is the same for everyone. Just make sure you take your pain medicine as needed. Try to at least take it before you go to bed....it was the best sleep I ever had. ((Hugs)) Jaye Jaye

Thanks. I have definitely been taking the pain med. every 4 hours like clockwork. That pain last night was unbearable. I am really tired though. So I am taking things pretty slow. Thanks for thinking of me.

I hope that your pain is getting better with each passing day.. How is it doing now?

I feel for you. We have a good supply of pain medicine all the time. I wish I would have been closer and I would have brought you some to get through the night. I hope you feel better now. Yea, big meal. I just ate 1/2 cup of chilli and feel like I ate a whole plate of food. Do you get any real food yet? cottage cheese never tasted so good as that first bite did after the liquids. Get your rest. Diana
