At this point, all I can do is laugh
Just because it would be so out of character for something to go right during this recovery, I figured I would stick with the norm.
#1) Fluids....towards the end of bag #2, nausea got even worse...woo-hoo!!!!
#2) Zofran...glad it came in dissolvable format, there's a plus....BUT, it didn't make a dent in the nausea AND, ready for the big one? It blurs my vision! lol I have NEVER experienced side effects with meds, until now I guess. It's pretty awesome to be walking in my house and run into every corner cause my peripheral vision is no more.
Of course, I called the doc, nurse says give it a couple hours, if the vision doesn't get better, go to the e/r. So here I am, almost 2 hours from onset and it is clearing up, yahoo! Needless to say, the Zofran is going in the trash!
Oh, but I did get a pedicure today, so that kinda makes up for all the crap!

Oh dear Rebecca, you and I are surgery sisters and you are copping it worse than I am. I've had awful nausea, vomiting, and pain in my left lower side that absolutely kills me. I was even contemplating going to the ER yesterday but as I see my surgeon in the morning I'm trying to tough it out. I feel like I'm back to day 1 after surgery instead of nearly 6 weeks out. i hope you get better soon too my dear. Hugs for you.
Cheers from Karin (in Oz)
Not fair, not fair. So what is your next step? There has to be something that will make this better for you.
Herbal teas, I don't do ginger but I do sweeten all of the with sweetener. I use several homeopathic medicines and the ones I use work very well. It's worth a try.

Hang in there Rebecca!
Glad you got a pedicure, you deserve something nice after all the stuff you are going through.
With the tea try it warm or iced, try it unsweetened first and if you need to then sweeten it up.
It still do better with fluids that are warm or room temp. It takes me forever to drink something really cold.
