Hey folks,
Well, its all over, and I dont know if i really feel like posting the whole shibang up here right now, but I wanted to let you all know that I am okay. Really the worst part was coming home, because I told the nurses I didnt need anything for pain because I felt none! They had used a local anesthesia in addition to the general. Big mistake. That started to wear off, and so my dad drove me home, I got into bed, and then I had to wait for him to go out and come back with my medicine. We live in a fairly remote area, so any pharmacy is half an hour away.
They put me on oxycodone, which I am not sure about really. I took one, and it decreased the pain, but didnt get rid of it. Each time Ive taken it, I've broken out into sweats and got realllllly dizzy. I think these are normal reactions to the medication, but taking it on an empty stomach probably didnt help.
So I've been sleeping a lot today, because I cant do much of anything else. I just had 2 pieces of wheat toast with strawberry jam, and thought I would catch you guys up on my progress.
Yes, I am going to need you guys a lot throughout the next few days. I am glad that I found this place, incredibly thankful, and I hope that my butt gets better really soon. Right now it feels like there is something pinching up there, a constant pinching, but...thats all. I hope to improve with every day, and I NEED to keep up with my diet. No BM yet, I dont expect to have one today. I cant imagine how painful that would be.
As for the laxatives part of this, they prescribed colace and milk of magnesia...so I dont really know...but that may be less severe than what you had to deal with Cheryl. I am to be sitzing 3 times a day, and other than that, I am just going to hang out, read my james patterson book, sleep, and enjoy the company of my furry felines when they choose to visit.
Thanks to all of you for your ongoing support. It means a lot to me.
