heather83 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Its been a week since surgery and only just now feeling a little 'normal'! All of my pain meds were making real sick so was vomiting for the first three days (ouch is all i can say!!!!!!). So they told me to try tramadol ( bad idea!!!!), ended up in the emergency with a bad reaction.....i had headaches, blurred vision, just not with it and hallucinations!!! It was sooo scary!!! So all of this has just made me recovery slower. The last 6 days has been a nightmare! So i am now officially allergic to every painkiller but panadol! So im just taking panadol every 4-6 hrs and constant ice packs and hoping it will be enough. But on the upside, im walking around and feel a bit more normal today and i go back to my doctor on wednesday to get my tape/dressings changed which will be good. So hopefully it's all uphill from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss la Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Omg heather you poor thing! Can't believe the horrible week you have had!!! Arghhh! I bet your pleased that the worse is over!! I only took the panadol and it was enough to get me through the pain thank god! I was paranoid prior to surgery taking strong pain killers cos I didn't want the feeling of nausea or throwing up and I was so lucky that I was able to do it without them! The nurses just made sure they gave me the panadol exactly every 6 hrs through the drip so it would work quicker! It's good to hear that you're walking around i bet your excited/anxious to see your scar and your new belly button xo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneymum Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Oh you poor thing! I must say, that is the one thing that worries me the most with my upcoming TT surgery - is how I react to all the meds. Not looking forward to it. Well I hope you are feeling much better now.
