Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Welcome home Jody! My sides hurt more than my entire body for a while. Dr. said it was due to the retractors they use to spread you " open " . This was after I asked him if they dropped me off the table of course! He suggested (check with your Dr. first), moist heat for 20 min, every hour (alternating sides)....it helped, but didn't " cure " me. One day, I woke up, and it was gone! Thank god for recliners! I love mine even til this day, and I'm almost 2 years out! Dawn I'm back Well, I am home sweet home. I am in a lot of discomfort but I am sure this too shall pass. The hopital stay was okay. I had great care and I several nurses that I swear were angels on earth. I was home by noon yesterday. Did anyone else experience terrible side pains? My gut hurts of course but man it is really intensified by my sides and mucsle pain in my pack. I cna't sleep in bed, thank goodness I have a comfortable recliner!! Any words of wisdom from you guys that have already been through all this? Thank for all the prayers! jmd (jody in Illinois) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
