Hey guys,
ive been out of hospital since saturday, so i thought id write a little blog.
I left hospital with my bag of meds which include- Tramadol, Oxcycontin, Endone, Diazapam and Temazapam. I had 2 tramadol as we hopped into the car, hoping to prevent the onset of pain early in the trip. However the drive home was very difficult. We had to drive through the city for half an hour- I had my seat right back with pillows under me and my head propped up but i could feel every single bump, turn, acceleration and brake... Tram tracks were the worst... out of the city we stopped and i readjusted and had an endone which is a fast acting strong pain killer. The road was a bit smoother and it wasn't quite so bad until my boyfriend forgot for a second and accellerated too quickly. It felt like my body split in half... i lost it then and had a panick attack. So i popped two diazapams which really did the trick, for about half an hour i think i fell asleep and when i woke, we were so close to home that i got excited... The drive was about 1hr 45 mins. If anyone is thinking of doing a trip like that after hospital I would recommend dosing up and knocking yourself out for it.
Since being home i have been doing really well. The pain is constant, and about 4 or 5 most of the time, but watching movies, reading magazines and using the internet are taking my mind off it. I have been going for my two walks (which is the only exercise Doc gave me) but i do get tired very easily. So ive been up for an hour or 2 then back to bed for an hour or two and I religiously take meds every 4 hours- alternating between panadol and tramadol and having and endone or oxcycontin if i get strong pain in between.
ive also still been constipated, but mum made a curry last night and it actually worked! It has been about 9 days since I have been able to clear my bowels, so it was very relieving... my tummy is much less bloated now, thank goodness!
I have been sleeping quite well, it is difficult to get into a comfortable position, but once i get it, i don't move and I sleep for about 3 or 4 hours at time.
hmmm.. it's time for a rest now...
