In so much Pain

 Pain is getting worse. I am so miserable.  I did pick up some tums.  I couldn't get in to see my surgeon today because she was in surgery all day. I do have an appointment with her tomorrow at 3:15.  I do wi**** was earlier so if they had to do something they could instead of having to wait for another day.  I am still waiting to hear from my PC to see if they were able to push through my meds.  I was taking one a day and my surgeon changed it to twice a day.

You can get prilosec over the counter now, just get the small box until you get your insurance sorted out.
I hope the doc can see you soon and you feel better soon too!

i know this sounds trite, but sometimes it helps: Can you try and sit quietly for 5 minutes, and breathe deeply through your mouth, pulling your breathe into your belly?  Use your hand on your belly to make sure the breathe goes into your belly and not your upper chest. 

The process oxygenates your body more than normal and THAT does 2 things.  One, the oxygen helps the body heal faster, and two, the breathe is a natural pain reliever. This won't eliminate high pain like you have, but it could reduce the pain.  Try it.  Just for 5 minutes every hour or two and see if it might help. Can't hurt.

sending healing energy your way.

 Thank you Tracy I will have to try that.  I will do it before I go to bed it is my only time I have to myself.  I did see my surgeon today she said that my pouch is really irritated from the extreme amount of stress I am under.   She gave me carafee or what ever it is called. I have to take it 4 times a day along with my prilosec twice a day.  I pray it works.

aaargh. I feel for you, and wish I could reach right through the computer to hug you.

Try sighing too.  Deep breath and then sigh, kinda drop your shoulders at the same time.
