Wargod | Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 04:25 pm   TK, we will be thinking of you tommorrow. You'll do great. Take it easy and try not to overdo it. The day I had my minor surgery, I came home from the hospital and tried to do dishes, because I knew my husband would never get around to it. BIG mistake on my part. I was in some serious pain after that. Try to get some sleep tonight, and not worry too much. We are all behind you!  |
Zed | Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 04:47 pm   Good luck TK & don't forget the frozen baby peas(get several bags)they really help. See you soon! |

Tksoard | Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 10:13 pm   Good night everyone!! It's midnight and I just had my last drink of water. I'm kinda tired, but, kinda, you know!! Thanks Willsfan, Lance, Wargod, Kep, Zed, Car, Tess and everyone else for your thoughts and advice. My hubby's going to get peas tomorrow while I'm "busy". I'll check in when I get home.

Tksoard | Saturday, December 01, 2001 - 02:41 am   Hi Everyone!! Having real problems with sleep tonight. Can't sleep while breathing through my mouth. Really drys up. On well, here I am!! Everything was going really great at first. I woke up in recovery and was thirsty, but water took care of that. Went back to my room and hubby was there. Got all instructions, got dressed and started on the 45 min. trip home with gauze under my nose to catch blood. No packing in there, just splints. 15 minutes into trip home, all of a sudden I felt like I got hit in the face with a shovel!! My teeth, roof of my mouth, eye sockets, cheek bones, and temples hurt so bad!!! They didn't tell me when I would be un-numb and BAMMM!! I took a pain pill, but it took about an hour to work. Then I got home and came here, to my great support group!! You guys are great!! Between you people, the pain pills, chap stick and the pea bags (ick, pea, not pee) I think I'll make it. There is ALOT of blood, but the gauze pads do good. Changed them quite offen at first. Then when I cleaned it out with Q-Tips and peroxide, that felt SO good!! Did that a couple of times then tried to sleep. Can't do that yet, so I'm here. I am now going to clean it out again and not put the gauze back on and maybe breath alittle through my nose. If I fall asleep, great, if not, I'll be back here. Thanks again everyone!! You are my 's!! HOOO HOOOO later!! |
Willsfan | Saturday, December 01, 2001 - 03:27 am   Tk, Try sleeping in a recliner the upright position might let you breathe better. Isn't breathing through your mouth a bummer? haha It's awful. Yeah, I remember that pain you experienced. I couldn't figure out why my teeth ached. ow ow ow!! If your pain threshold is like mine it will be a dull ache for several days then taper off, taking pain pills for the first two or three days is almost a necessity. I hope you used your peas because if your eye sockets were hurting that means you might get some discoloration under your eyes. If you were going to swell you would already have that. Let's see what else? Oh, This will probably be the only time in your life when a doctor tells you to pick your nose. hahaha I had dried blood in mine and it almost drove me nuts. The bad part is over, by next week you will be able to breathe so much better. Well, take it easy and I hope you can get some sleep.  |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, December 01, 2001 - 06:35 am   Keep getting better TK...You will feel better in a couple of days. Aren't bags of peas great? |
Weinermr | Saturday, December 01, 2001 - 08:07 am   Tksoard - We're all glad you're home and you're resting, Those peas will help much we're suggesting, Take your pills for the pain, And we'll entertain, While it's get well soon we're requesting. |
