Had surgery yesterday (8/5) to have ovaries and Fallopian tubes removed. I couldn't have anything but clear liquids all day on Sun (8/4). I had to be at the hospital at 8:10am and I was back into recovery around 10:30am. I asked for extra anti nausea meds before and during surgery. It helped a lot! I felt pretty good with no vomiting. I still had to stay at the hospital until around 5pm. I had to be able to tolerate the pain, eat (crackers), drink, and urinate. I have issues when I have to pee under pressure like that especially if I know a nurse is lurking outside the bathroom. Finally as I was distracted by blood dripping from my hand where my IV had been I was able to go. Whew! Then I got to be discharged.
Up now at 12:17am with slight pain and slight nausea. Took another Norco pain pill (Tylenol and hydrocodone).
I have 3 incision sites: one is vertical about 1 inch long just below my belly button, and the other 2 are horizontal and about 1/2 inch long lower on my abdomen, right and left of navel.
The right side is painful.
