February 2014 Surgeries

[crucon]

So glad to hear from you crucon and glad all went well.

Yeah the wind pain is a bugger but if you are mobile, walking soon gets rid of it.

Are you managing fluids ok?

Hi Matra , I am managing fluids the last 2 days, after surgery just ice to take dryness out of mouth, Wednesday couldn't keep anything down as it was coming back up with the wind. I would never of believed how painful wind could be. Tried a complan smoothie today for lunch and it lasted 3 hours!! Can't say I have any pain from the wounds.

Are you still getting on fine?

Getting up from hospital bed was pretty painful fells like muscles have had a mega work out lol try peppermint tea have been sipping it since i got home and i can only feeling it occasionally gurgling around my back, hot water bottle too x x x congrats on making th eloser bench, hope you manage some rest soon x x x rest up and recoup well

Brilliant your managing to get fluids down you. I tried a complan chocolate shake the other day and it was actually better than expected - would recommend ( only managed about 40% mind you).
Good news on the wounds - must agree, I may have had other issues but no pain from them either and they are healing well.
I am doing just grand, started driving last weekend and was back to work yesterday. Bit knackered but to be expected I guess.
Did you get some tramadol home with you? I found taking it at bedtime took the edge of the wind pain.

Rest up and take care

I didn't take my Tramadol for bed last night and had such a bad nights sleep... :/ x

Must admit Kirsty I was the same but tramadol scares me because of its addictive nature so I only took it when I absolutely had to.

Hope you sleep better tonight love - we can concur the world after a good nights kip!!

I already take Tramadol for painkillers for my back pain. Must admit the soluble work a lot better than capsules!! Xx

Speedy recovery to you too crystalrainbow I have a golden retriever and he always jumps up and rests himself on my lap, it's funny how he has sensed not to do that and just lays at my feet, intelligent animals.

Yes I got soluble tramadol and liquid paracetamol , will take one before bed tonight. I was pleasantly surprised with the complan smoothie although I started at 12 and never actually finished it until 3.

I am knackered quick, but can't really expect anything else, hopefully get back to work in 10 days or so

Take care

 

[xkirsty88]

Got my anti depressents in liquid form today. Trazodone... It's vile, and has made my mouth semi numb for a few minutes! I need to brave my tablets soon, I can't keep having that 3 times a day!!!

they are so clever. pup has pretty much ignored me since i left her all day yesterday lol she certainly has been quiet and subdued, i think she realises somethings not right. She slept downstairs with me last night and has spent most the day and evening at my feet, although now shes woken up in playful mode lol hubby will take her out in a bit, if its ot raining..... she hates the rain the good news is we will be able to do much longer walks soon
