I had a pretty crappy time the first night with nausea, vomiting and passing out. My blood pressure has been very low. Surgery went well though. Feeling better but still dealing nausea and dizziness yesterday. They wouldn't let me go home. Today, I did a 180; feeling like me again except for surgical pain. I walked up and down the hallways, learned about car transfer and how to make adjustments at home. I am finally in my recliner at 5ish this evening. I'm taking my pain meds and sleeping a lot. Thank you for all the prayers and positive energy.
Glad to hear you're home and recovering Lesa !

You could tighten the Velcro maybe? I make sure it sits snugly around my head and above my ears with my hair behind my ears (my ears keep it from sliding down). Sometimes it slips up in the back taking my hair with it, but that more gives me mask hair in the morning than it makes it slide off. I haven't had any itching though!
