Don's Freakout Palace

Tell him he’s got a few dozen cheerleaders wagging their pompoms at him! Rest, sip, walk, rinse and repeat. Walk even if it hurts - gets rid of the gas and prevents DVTs. And YAY!

Won't let me put post the picture for some reason

That's because Photobucket disabled "3rd party" linking...

Been a rough night. I was doing okay until evening then the pain started getting bad. I think I have a mega case of heartburn, then my stomach and guts hurt like hell. I've been sleeping in half an hour to one hour chunks. Night nurse got annoyed at for being up and walking so much. I know walking is supposed to help long term with getting the gas out, right now it's just easier to deal with the pain if I'm moving. I've had three booster shots of painkiller which h only dents it.

Don, I think I saw you on one of my walks yesterday. Go us! I agree on some of the kooky things upon arrival and not understanding Ernesto. Imagine my surprise when Dr Wilhelmy walked in with a black eye! Everything else is going pretty great.

 

[JackieOnLine]

make sure you tell them about the heartburn! I say that because I didn't right away, for some reason. can't even remember why - anyway, tell them!

sorry about the pain, I hope it's better soon.

 

[southernlady]

Most of the gas pain for me was due to the residual gas trapped in my abdominal cavity and the only thing that helped it was walking and time.

Tell them about the heartburn.

Yay for both of you! Don how far to you live from Saint Louis? I'll wave as you leave the airport!

Doing better. Still have some pain but it's not awful. Been given the run of the place. Took a shower. Will change into PJs tonight. Tomorrow I get to have the blue dye experience.
