I guess he stayed until about midnight and then went home. I was a few hundred miles away from home so only a cousin and my brother were close to where I was so wasn't really expecting a lot of company.seyreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760145069917378505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-9039636394407518402013-11-22T08:14:25.603-06:002013-11-22T08:14:25.603-06:00seyrey,

In ICU you cannot even have company except for a few minutes several times a day, so watching tv or having someone with you is out. Having great care is the most important part.

They even sent Physical Therapy down for me but after the morphine wore off I was able to get up, move around without assistance. Of course they have to be in the room with you when you do anything in ICU. But I refused to stay in bed one second longer than I absolutely had to. Even at my worst I would sit in the chair (I might nap on occasion but I figured they needed to see me doing things to make myself better and languishing in bed was probably a good way to spend more time in the hospital with more medical personal visiting me - have to say that I really had great medical care).seyreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760145069917378505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-39696106074003094742013-11-22T00:11:55.411-06:002013-11-22T00:11:55.411-06:00seyrey,

With the coughing I was doing, my blood pressure rose. Usually, my blood pressure is on the low sign.<br /><br />The Percocet is still in the pharmacy package. I have not taken anything yet. When I go to bed, I am quite sure I will not need anything for pain. I would not even describe what I feel as cramps.

Know that my blood pressure crashed after it and when they took me to ICU they asked if I was having any pain. When I answered yes, they gave me a shot of morphine (so I've been told - I laugh and say they gave me the good stuff and I can't even remember it). <br /><br />My biggest problem has been some cramping but after the first couple of days it wasn't bad enough to require even a Tylenol.seyreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760145069917378505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-3386497941750663492013-11-21T22:29:15.375-06:002013-11-21T22:29:15.375-06:00Snowbrush,

I don't think she has a mean bone in her body. My ex destroyed my friendship of almost 50 years. <br /><br />That yellow iris may have life in it. I am not really sure. But, I agree that they are tough. It is going to rain tonight, so they are sitting where they will get a good soaking. The pink one is starting to grow way down inside.

Don't you just hate it when one thing leads to another. Hemorrhoids would be just the worst thing ever. I had severe constipation and hemorrhoids during my first pregnancy. That is when I became a roughage/fiber fan even though I ate well. <br /><br />Thankfully, I never go to the physicians I know too well. <br /><br />Yes, the uterus is a fun thing to have.

Of the various procedures I've had done, this one was lower on the pain scale except that afterwards I got super constipated from the pain meds and had a hemorrhoid flare up and the resulting discomfort from that became way bad. But the main part of my pain probably had to do with the cauterization. Isn't it fun to have a uterus?<br /><br />I was asleep before they bought me in but saw an OB/Gyn whom I used see out drinking and wenching in my younger days. I spotted him just before they put me out! But I knew he wouldn't be in my room.... Alex Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562233895276078957noreply@blogger.com
