So recovery from surgery has been quite difficult. I've been having a lot of trouble with nausea/vomiting, severe pain, lack of appetite, and lack of sleep.
The nausea and vomiting has went away but my appetite has almost completely went away. Eating has become a chore unless it is milk based. I'm lactose intolerant and have never been big on anything that has milk in it but in the last week I haven't been able to eat/drink enough milk products. I hadn't had a milkshake in probably several years until this week when I've had five and we are now making them so we can add protein powders/nutrient mixes in them.
I've had severe pain since surgery and the pain medication my doctor gave me was a joke! I mean tynelol works better than it does and tynelol doesn't do much. I went in to see the GYN, he ran some tests but pretty much said that all of my problems with recovering from surgery was from my digestive system problems and was not connected in any way to the surgery! All of the tests he ran came back normal besides them finding that I had a urinary tract infection. He gave me medicine for that and told me to come back tomorrow morning for my post-op visit but did not give me anything or tell me anything I could do to help with all of the pain I'm in besides going to the ER. I refuse to do that even with three different doctors telling me to go though because all they would probably do is pump me full of pain medicine and send me home. Then once that medicine wore off I would be back at square one.
I'm just trying to push through it all but it's just not fair that I have to suffer this much.
