Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Hello! I got back from the hospital today. My surgery was 9/18 in staten island. I've got vicadin for pain, every 4 hours as needed. It's been 2 and I'm starting to feel it wear off. I had a problem with severe diarrhea 3 days post-op, along with intense cramping. Anyone dealt with this? How long will it last? Any ideas on how to handle this time? I can't really eat, I had half a scrambled egg today. I'm trying to drink as much as I can, which has been 4 oz. over the last 4 hours. It's tough. I get really bad cramps and diarrhea. Sorry to be so grafic but it's incredible how much liquid can be expelled with out taking in a lot. BTW, I did really well imediately post op. I was walking 6 hours after. It's been tough from day 3 and on. I know it'll pass...and I have to keep repeating that!! Anyway, any ideas/suggestions/encouragement will be greatly appriceated. Thanks, Beth ( who has had to correct an unbelievable amt. of typos to make this understandable!) --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
