Bird, besides Valium, I was taking oxycodone, and I had my wife check to see that I'm not screwing that up. It probably doesn't stop eveyone's guts, but it sure did it for me!!!!!!!!!
Dave, I'm sleeping on a recliner. It's too hard for me to get into bed, it hurts if I lay on my back, my side, and probably even on my head ( I actually made a joke!!), so the recliner keeps me in one position, so I don't roll over and hurt myself in my sleep. It was my idea, but the surgeon said it was a great idea. The dressings came off 2 days ago for good. The hospital changed them in a few days, and then told my wife to take them off after I was home, and not replace them. I have a 9 inch surgical wound, but believe it or not, it's all closed up.
I just wish I could find something to stop the hurt without stoping me up. I can't take aspirin or ibuprofin, they both cause bleeding. My wife just gave me tylenol. I'm not hopeful, but I'll try anything that will take away some pain and not stop me up.
I'll keep you all posted and pray none of my TBN buddies ever have to go thru this.
