Guest guest Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Hey everyone. Thanks for all the well wishes we received while Ron was recovering from his surgery. He's doing great. The first night he spent in the ICU due to his sleep apnea. That night he experienced a bought of the dry heaves, which we realized was from the morphine. He was getting a continuous drip, but when he would give himself a bolus (push the button), that's when the dry heaves would appear, so he stopped pushing the button and was still getting the continuous and they gave him liquid pain med (which helped). He was transferred to a normal room on Thurs afternoon. He's walking, breathing in his incentive spirometer, drinking his shot glass water and his pain is very minimal, more discomfort than pain actually. Well, now comes the recovery part at home (where it's nice and quiet). Thanks again and I'll keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
