Hiya,

so glad you posted we have all been wondering how your surgery went.

Im glad you are out of the hospital and well on the way to recovery.

Dont wory about sobbing whilst on morphine its a mood altering substance and can make you very emotional. Also you can think and hear and see things that aren't really there, so dont panic !

Don't worry about feeling sorry for yourself and don't apologise. We have the forum to rant and express ourselves. Everyone is entitled to a some self pity! You wouldn't be human if you didn't have dyas when all you can think is "why me". If I have a day like that I say to myself ok you can be miserable today, but it stops on the stroke of midnight. Its healthy to acknowledge those feelings.

Sorry you are still in pain and its not comfortable sleeping. When I had surgery for bowel adhesions 11 years ago I was cut from just under my breast bone to my pubic bone. For weeks after I could only sleep propped up. If I lay down the pain was so immense that I would pass out trying to sit up! I couldn't laugh cough or sneeze as the pain was so bad! I got the fit of the giggles once and I just couldn't stop it was sheer agony!!!

When do you go back for post op checks? Im sure you will be able to discuss things better with your Dr then and you wont be in a morphine smog. The good thing is that they got it out.

Make sure you dont try and do too much! Take it easy.
Wishing you a speedy recovery
Love
Rach
