Guest guest Posted May 7, 1999 Report Share Posted May 7, 1999 Sharon; What an experience! What about those taxi drivers! Anyone that goes to Monterrey should know the would for slow. That is the one and only word that is ABSOLUTELY necessary!) Oh, I just can't stop laughing. But you made it through and now the rest has to be a piece of cake compared to Mexico. lol Were you naucious after the surgery? I was and they gave me a shot in the " bum " . I was just wondering if that was normal. I hope you will be able to chat tomorrow, Saturday, I will be about 4 hours late because of things I have to do during the day but I would love to chat will you too. Denny will be in the room with me, she is going the end of this month and would love to talk to you I am sure. So glad to hear you are safe and sound at home. And you have had an adventure you will remember your entire life. (Oh, I went to the doctor yesterday, 2 weeks after my surgery and have lost 14 pounds.)

I think I cried because the nurses kept bringing a pan for me to puke in but they didn't know I hadn't eaten in forever!!!!! I told them I wanted drugs not pans!

Hee Hee. My Post-op w/dr fox is not until the 18th, so I will see if I can reschedule. otherwise I will have my regular Dr. take them out. Or I can perform home surgery. that sounds like fun.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 1999 Report Share Posted May 9, 1999 Ah Sharon dont go in early to get out your stitches cause they will only make you come back and pay for another doctors appointment and as for trying to get the staples out yourself been there tried that, OUCH !! it hurts!!!! so just wait till your full 10 days are up!!!!
