Home from the Hospital - still not feeling the best

[Guest guest]

I went in to the ER last Sunday with Severe Abdomanal pain, Nausea

and vomiting, counts were good but the pain level was so severe that

they were not letting me leave the hosptial. They put me on the PCA

10 of Demeral every 10 min. Then later in the week thek thek put me

on the duragesic patch again. They weaned me from the demoral and

gave me the perococets every 4 hours. I am home but not feeling the

greatest.

Dear Leanne,

I hope that as each day passes you start feeling better. No one enjoys a

hospital stay, but sometimes it's the only thing you can do to to get some

relief from that unrelenting pain. It's good that they were able to get it

eased

and send you home.

Just try to rest up as much as you can, be gentle to yourself and to your

pancreas. Don't forget to drink lots of water as you recover, and you'll be

feeling ever so much better before long. I find it usually takes a week of

recuperation for each DAY that you're hospitalized, it seems like a long time,

but that's how it works out for me. Take your time and give yourself enough

time to heal.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
