So I think I got food poisoning and go to the er last Friday end up in one hour under the knife cause I have a perforated appendix , lovely ! not only that a one hour surgery turned into a 4 hour surgery cause it became perforated (busted)during the process of trying to get it out so wtf ...my family after an hour freaking out thinking omg she is going to die and is not out of surgery yet . This week has been hell and they forget to tell me that the recovery is worse than just appendicitis , so then yesterday I have endometriosis and start my lovely red friend and now I am in double pain and want to scream I am dying and no one understands here , I am in hell .....END rant I think ...

I had deviated septum fixed -that was some serious shit, cause morons nearly killed me with wrong atibiotics.. year after rhinoplasty which was not bad at all, but omfg that fucking chin implant hurt like a mofo!!! and i had to give myself an enema from the vicodin. Never. Again. Now where's the ummm water pipe.. ) Jul 05 14 12:50 pm Link I had to google Norco. I was given a prescription for 50 Percocets for 2 root canals. I took about 22 of them & decided it didn't hurt that bad so why take them. My last surgery I was given Percocets & Morphine a couple of times for the worst pain. Jul 05 14 01:17 pm Link I have had 2 lap surgeries. Gallbladder removed at 26 and then an exploratory lap in my 30's. The gas part sucks. Honestly though those surgeries have not been the worst I have had. I've had 7 more and will probably need another this month. I injured my ankle in May and now my MRI results are bad enough I have to see a specialist. The pain I might endure to fix it scares the Hell out of me. I can't take Norco or the other 199 drugs in that classification. BTW, eat some food with all pain medicine, it really helps. Make sure you watch that you don't get a post-op infection. I had one 2 years and it got so bad I couldn't even bend over to put on my shoes. Jul 05 14 02:07 pm Link Sorry to hear of your discomfort but believe me, if the appendix had not been so bad, the laparoscopic surgery would have been much better. Its less painful and the recovery is much faster than regular surgery. Basically, you were unlucky enough to have an appendix that was near bursting before surgery, so any disturbance of it made it "blow up." Once that happens, the docs don't have any choice - they have to "go in." Jul 05 14 05:35 pm Link I hope you're feeling better? Jul 05 14 08:06 pm Link My wife has had several major laproscopic surgeries and had no problems. Jul 06 14 09:57 am Link it still beats the classical knifes by a mile and a half. I have a foot long scar to prove my point Jul 06 14 10:08 am Link I had 2 laps. Awful feeling the gas in your tummy! The pain may not just be from your monthly. It may still be from the gas in your tummy. Take it easy and feel better. It will take a good week to 10 days to feel better. I think it was 2 weeks before I felt better after my gallbladder lap. Although, I had a major allergic reaction so my abdomen was covered in blisters and a rash. Allergic to the scrub they used (not betadine but an alcohol based scrub) and adhesives which caused the blisters where the steri strips were. It was awful!! Jul 13 14 07:14 am Link |
