Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 Hi, everyone --- I called Sondra and she made it through the surgery ok. However, she's in quite a bit of pain and has been since she came to. The nurses and pain management people have been notified but they haven't adjusted the pump enough, etc. I suggested torodol (not sure if she already has that or not), but it worked for me (Gagner automatically administers it but I'm not sure about other surgeons) and many others. I feel so bad that she's in such pain now --- She said she's having those 'second thoughts' about 'what did I do to myself' (she had an open BPD/DS).. But, she sounds good. She's in decent spirits despite the pain she's been having. I had my surgery June 12th and I think the worst and most unexpected was the amount of pain I had. I had toradol starting around the clock in the recovery room and a fentanyl pca and had to have the pain management people see me more than once a day starting in the recovery room.
