Still able to eat turkey-Heidi

[Guest guest]

Glad to hear that your doc is concerned about your pain tolerance.

When I had out-patient surgery in September my doctor was also

concerned alittle because I already take demerol on a daily basis.

And yes, when i woke in the recovery room they must have injected 4-

5 doses of (something?) and my pain still was not under control.

After 3 hours of steady pain meds, I finally (and the nurses too)

knew that I wasn't going to be pain free anytime soon. Of course

with all the meds that they dumped into me or (just from the

surgery), I did end up with an attack in the recovery room too.

When I got home I was sick to my stomach, and then very sore (from

the pancreas pain). Just let the nurses know that there is a chance

that one of the meds could cause an abrupt attack of pancreatitis.

Then they will be well prepared. I hope that everything goes well

for you for your procedure. Let me know how it all works out.

Take care
