Hernia surgery was Monday. It has snowed all day today. Kids played I watched from the window. Today I have kept a migraine all day. Not sure why but ready for it to go away. I have tried not to take the perkaset unless I had to but today I have hurt alot. Feels like the doctor stapled the mesh to my rib cage. Could the migraine be a side effect of the medicine? Anybody know?

Oooh, I'm not sure. Any chance you might be dehydrated? I always wonder about that with us when we have big headaches.

I pray that your recovery and healing accelerate now!

Blessings to you, and Merry Christmas!

Hydrating has really helped. I think we need to make sure we drink even more after stuff like this. Our bodies have to work extra hard to bounce back. Thanks for all the prayers. I love my OH family!

Agree with Rosa. Make sure you're hydrating like a wild woman. After my hysti I thought they had done a number on me too around my rib cage but I think it was trapped gas left over from the laparoscopic process. It took a good 2 weeks to feel better and then there was an occasional flair up. Hang tough and rest and drink..or drink and rest...major surgery and all that.

I took your advice and rested today. I also took something for gas. I think it has helped. I have also taken pain meds on time today. Half the dose but on time. I think that has helped alot too. Thanks for always being that little guardian angel.

Danielle, not sure about the side effects of the medicine, but I hope you are feeling better soon.

Can you call your doctor and asked him?

Danielle - what kind of anesthesia did they give you for your surgery? If it was a spinal block, you could have a leak, which causes awful headaches, but you would have had them much earlier than this...

Like the others said - get hydrated and take the drugs if you need them - no need to live with the pain...
