3 Weeks Post-Op

Nov 01, 2009

Happy Halloween everyone!  Yesterday, I ended up going to the ER because the pain in the center and right side of my body and back was so bad, I was worried about a rupture.  After the CT scan, they said they think everything looks okay and to follow-up for my surgeon.  I am trying to do a little better, but sleeping and managing pain can be hard and difficult.  I am trying to have a real positive attitude, and be grateful to be here and have the life that I do.  I am so thankful for my children and my husband.  My husband is going to buy some protein for me to make shakes today.  I am not sure how it will go, but I am hoping if I can get some more protein in that it will give me more energy and make me feel better.  I still get up from my recliner every two hours and walk, and I am still using the breathing spirometer (I think that is what it is called), and so...  I am hoping that I will get to feeling better soon.  I am still using my Gas - X because it does help.  My PCP told me this week that I should be able to take pills, and put me on an antidepressant, although when I took it, it caused me so much pain to digest it.  Anyways...  Thank you everyone for such great advice, it really helps so very, very much!
