I'm Home - but having a tough time!!

Made it home safely .. but now the problems start.  Doc gave me pain meds and it's a really big pill.  I cut it in half .. but it feels like it's stuck in the middle of my chest .. please give me some ideas ..next time I'll cru**** up!! Thanks to all for the well wishes!! bigron

Call your pharmacy to make sure you can cut or crush them. If so, then crush them babies right up. Glad you made it home okay. Take care of you!

Ron...call your surgeon and ask him to order you liquid pain meds.

Hi Glad you are home and OK.  Best wishes and stay on the course.  Hopewell is not too far away.  Crush those pills and get some rest. Best regards,

WOOWOO Ron!  Welcome home!  I was given a script for a liquid pain med...I'd call in the am and get one prescribed.

Thanks to all for the advice.  Took another pain pill and crushed it this time.  It's not time release or anything.  Had a big bout with gas which may have been my problem.  Took a nap on my side .. then got up and walked around the house a bit .. and I'm feeling better!! Now for my 3 oz liquid dinner ..  I can't beleive it's filling me up .. but it does.  Had a tough time with that tube down my throat .. and it hurts like hell too ..  small price to pay .. I'm in  the BAND!!

i went home with nothing and i was cut from chest to belly button my surgeon didnt perscribe anythingi think you will be ok if you dont take them for me it was more of an uncomfortabilty

Ron, welcome home!!  I am glad you are feeling better and things are going easier for you!  That's great!  Yeah, the gas is no fun.   Your throat hurts, too?  Mine didn't start til I got home but maybe it's because I'm off the pain meds now....

I don't have any different suggestions about the pain pill, but very glad that you are home and well.

WELCOME HOME RON!  Take it easy...don't overdo...every day gets better... Rosemary
