Princess 35 Posted June 30, 2009 I've always been like that. Only I never do get hungry. I just start getting ill, like because my sugar is bottoming out, and someone usually has to yell at me to go eat something. The conversation goes as follows. me: I feel like crap! person: How long since you last ate? me: I dunno...like 12 hours-ish? person: Shut up and go eat, stupid! me: Oh. yeah. Sounds like something that I'd do. Yay, I have new pain meds that are helping again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted June 30, 2009 What'd you get now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted June 30, 2009 Ultram 50 and flexeril. It seems to be working right now. I think I just needed a change from the vicodin because the pain was getting worse earlier today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ana 15 Posted June 30, 2009 Three cheers for meds that work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) I think the little twitch on the inside of my elbow is going to drive me insaner... It's like it is waiting for me to turn away so it can start twitching while I'm not looking! Except for the times it twitches while I am looking!! 3 hours straight the other day it went for... And it's been going on for like half an hour at a time every hour or two since yesterday afternoon. But aside from that I've been okay, apart from general aches and pains and other weirdness. So yeah, not really that okay. My body has gone on strike I think. Didn't think I'd treated it that badly. lol Still waiting to get a date for my Nerve Conduction Study too. It better not be on my birthday. That would suck... Edited July 1, 2009 by Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad furday 57 Posted July 2, 2009 Now Prinny will be pain free! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted July 2, 2009 so did that fix it? or will it come back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted July 2, 2009 It should be fixed, however there's a chance that the ovary will reattach to the colon :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bad furday 57 Posted July 2, 2009 Later, that ovary was given a restraining order ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted July 2, 2009 Fuuuuuuuuuurdaaaaaaaaay! They don't think that's what was causing the pain, that the hernia was the culprit there. And actually, for a couple of years now, my left ovary does not like to show up on ultrasound and now we know why Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ana 15 Posted July 3, 2009 I'm glad they found the problem! Three cheers for laparoscopy, too. Imagine how long you'd take to heal the old-fashioned way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ender 8 Posted July 3, 2009 Mmm, I just love post-op recovery. Least fun time of my whole life. Glad you've got the problem fixed though, Prin! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted July 3, 2009 I'm glad they found the problem! Three cheers for laparoscopy, too. Imagine how long you'd take to heal the old-fashioned way. But then I would have gotten the entire summer off of work :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted July 5, 2009 Well, my belly button is itching like mad which means that I'm healing well there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted July 7, 2009 *sigh* So I have to call the surgeon tomorrow because I don't think I've really overdone it but I have a lot of pressure where they did the repair. Plus all weekend my throat was irritated from being intubated during surgery and now I still have these evil coughing fits that won't stop. I'm going through liquids and popsicles like mad just to stop from coughing because it hurts to cough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted July 7, 2009 And off to the doctor again :???: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted July 7, 2009 Fail. Quadruple post. I mean...good luck! :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted July 7, 2009 Sheesh. Hurry up and get better! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted July 7, 2009 Well, according to the doctor, I'm healing well and there was nothing normal about my case, so if this pressure keeps up then I'll need a CT to see if fluid is building up and needs to be drained but to give it a week or two. And if I can go back to work with lifting restrictions then I can return to work next week, otherwise I'm off for a few more weeks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted July 7, 2009 There was nothing normal about your case?! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted July 7, 2009 No, because the type of hernia that I had was so rare. He said it probably would have started causing some major problems if something hadn't been done when it was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James the Defender 7 Posted July 10, 2009 Wow...I'm glad they found the problem, Prin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
