Topic: RE: Rough 1st Night
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.

Topic: 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

I am glad to see your home. I hope everything works wonderfully for you. I have been thinking of you and praying for you. Get some rest now because once you get to feeling better there will be no stopping you girl. God Bless.....

Hurrah!!!!!! Congratulations. I know what you mean about not getting any rest at the hospital. When I had both my kids, it seemed like they were coming in every hour to either bring the baby, or take my vitals. I never got any rest, besides there is nothing better than your own bed. So make sure to get your rest, take your meds, and drink your water.

Hi ladies,
I am here. I actually got home on Friday, but the computer has been acting up
I am doing great. Surgery was on Wednesday and it went well. I am so happy to be home!
I am still sore, but not really in pain. The gas pains are probably the biggest problem right now.
So does anyone have any good tips on how to deal witht he gas?? LOL
Thanks for thinking about me. I think the computer is better now (fingers crossed), so I should be around more.

Well I finally made it home. However, I am so tired. Believe me, if you need to rest, don't do it at the hospital. Well everything went fine. I am sore of course, and very tired. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am ok and made it home. I am officially a loser now.

Hopefully she will check in soon. I think her surgery was suppose to be November 28th, and you know TeReesa had her surgery on the 30th I believe. I will be glad to hear back from both of them. Liz will also be having her surgery soon. I am just so proud for everyone. What a Christmas present we have all gotten...just think this time next Christmas we should be considerably smaller ; if we stick to the rules.
WooHoo!!
