Feel Better
Hi,
You WILL feel better! Sorry you had a tough time. I came out of anesthesia way too early too, not fun. I got lots of hope from reading all the posts here from people who have had success for YEARS and also the ones who were fairly new because you can tell it really does get better. I'm 8 weeks out this week and can not believe I really feel normal now and believe it or not the first couple of weeks are pretty much a blur.
Best news is I'm 8 weeks out, 43 lbs gone and just ordered inexpensive jeans online 2 sizes smaller and they fit - will probably be too big soon!
Good luck, take the time you need. Take the meds you can.. after the first few days of morphine, I took tylenol around the clock it and it was enough. You really will feel better every day.
Beth

Wow! That happened to me after one of my surgeries. I have had 4 of them so I know the difference. Your pain may last a few days longer but you will get through this. I'm sure a lot of people have felt the same way after surgery.

I am so sorry. Idiots!
It will get better, I promise! You are there my dear, we have all moved over and made room for you on our bench, WELCOME!
They will ease your pain, and then just enjoy the stupor, cause it is kinda fun.
Get up and walk as soon as you can. You will feel better!
BIG HUGS
