Hope you are having a better day!

The plastic chair sounds like a great idea. Can you get any pain meds>

oh tutu!

So sorry you are going through this post-surgery stuff!

I've experienced a three-day delay in reacting to anesthesia with each of two surgeries. Upon awakening I was hyper and calling bunches of folks to say that I was okay. By day three, everything hurt and I became shakey, emotional and exhausted.

I know that the surgery tables are really narrow and my body was stiff and achey for months. Do we not fully go out during surgery and brace our bodies against falling off the durn tables?

I'm wondering whether the fungus that was removed from your sinus cavaties went free-radical on you and you are in a yeast hell of sorts. I'd dabble in the de-yeasting world for now...

Wish I had sage words of advice. Epsom salts and flaxseed heating pads and rest were what I sought besides drinking a lot of water and giving myself permission to vegetate.

Much love with gentle, pain-free hugs,

wow, just awful

same thing happened to me after surgery, but I stayed in the hospital overnight....of course this happened 100 yrs ago when you could do that.

i remember i couldn't move. the nurse gave me full body massage which helped

....ya even that happened a hundred yrs ago

my husband had sinus surgery last spring

a week or two of recovery time nasty

but it triggered what we now think was a relapse

HOPE ALL FARES WELL FOR YOU!

If it could be lack of oxygen, take Co-Enzyme Q-10, it helps oxygenate the tissues. [Wink]

I am sorry to hear you arent feeling well AFter surgery. Are you starting to feel better yet? As you know my surgery was yest and did go well. The only thing I noticed was severe pains in my heart that come and go and a slight sore throat. (Probably from the tube). Has your pain subsided yet?

Oh great... more pain... as though you didn't have enough already!

[shake]

Hope this is not a true setback, but simply a detox issue, and that you are feeling better soon.

Sorry you're feeling so bad. I would think it's the anesthesia. Lymies don't react well to anesthesia I don't think.

Thanks everyone. I read every single response and I thank you for all of the advice.

I'm about 5-10% better today and I'll celebrate that!! I still have a lot of pain getting up and down but can walk a lot better.

I'm still taking hydrocodone and have added chlorella since yesterday. I upped my cortef yesterday and will take more today and again tomorrow. Then go back to my usual dosage if I'm feeling better.

Thanks for the recipes, luvs! I don't have many of the ingredients and no blender, but will take your ideas and use what I can.

Can you believe we have to move this month??? My poor husband has his work cut out for him.

I did manage to go with him today and see the apartment I believe we will move into. Still crunching numbers over here to make sure we can do it.

Thanks again everyone for caring. It means a lot to me! [group hug]

Lymetoo,

Glad to hear you are feeling a tiny bit better. Sure makes you wish you could have had a video tape of them doing your surgery to find out what really went on to make you so sore, huh?

And then a move on top of all this? Wow... pain AND stress. Sending lots of positive vibes your way and please continue to keep us posted.

Hi TuTu,

SO sorry to hear that you are not feeling well!!! But happy to hear that you are already feeling a bit better!

Hope you can get in that bathtub or shower, however possible! Warm water is one of the few surefire things for my muscle aches. Sure sounds like the anaesthesia, or a muscle herx....or they had you playing soccer while you were out.

I trust that the operation was a complete success in every other way, and you are freed from ever thinking about your sinuses again after this heals!!!

Hey, and this sounds like a great time to get all your friends to help with your upcoming move! Eat well, rest alot, and get better soon! [group hug]

Hi, Tutu -

I checked back in here tonight to see how you were doing. Glad there is some improvement but I was sure hoping for more. [Frown]

Did your doc ever call you back about this? [confused]

I know the effect of 'trauma' can be huge. And just because you were asleep during the procedure doesn't mean your body didn't know what was going on. I think it is letting you know that it wasn't fooled. [Smile]

It's Xango on the rocks for you this evening, young lady. I do hope we hear of more improvement by tomorrow. [Smile]

All the best,

Hi Tutu - surgery's hard to go through. I hope you'll be gradually feeling better. Try to do some things you enjoy doing, just little stuff.

Just read the first post. Glad you gave me the URL. I had been looking to see how things were going and the brain wasn't workign well enough to find the post.

Hoping to read more of what you wrote later.

But, when I read the first post I wondered about surgury and lyme as I had read that the pain lyme patients have is equivelant (sp?) to a person just coming out of surgery.

So, how does this work when you have lyme in there bones and tissues too. Sheesh.

TAke care of you.

Yep...doing better in the pain department. Just a little worn out. Gee, how could that be?? [Roll Eyes]

So, you're all coming to help us move?? [Razz]

The owners of our condo want it back. Fine. We found a better place. More expensive, but way better!

It will also be a lot closer to hubby's work and to our church. Even closer to the grocery store! [Wink]
