It sucks. They told me if I was still having pain on the medication to give them a call for something stronger. I did and they tell me thats the strongest and don't think they can give me anything else, but she will ask when she sees the doctor just in case.
How nice.. Now I feel like crap for even asking.
My big problem is that I puked. So it caused me to strain some muscles and made it ache more. I was just going to try and deal with it, but the current med is also giving me a throbbing headache whenever I take it as well.
My arm is itchy also. The one that had the iv for stuff. I put some hydrocortizone and that seems to be relieving the itch. I had some -what looked to be broken capularies? Those little red dots on your skin. In a few places. It could have been because I keep scratching though. They didn't say anything about a rash or itchiness from the anesthesia so I dunno if I should even bother to mention it now. Considering they really don't seem to care.
Oh yeah, the care at Heywood Hospital isn't that great. I had some trouble waking up from the procedure, but the nurse kept shaking me cause they needed to get me out so someone else could have the room. Which is why I think I got sick in the first place. I wasn't ready to be awake and told to eat and drink something. I went home, walked from the car to inside and I threw up. Had massive shakes and pain and everything after that. Quite traumatizing. Actually, whenever I attempt to think about being in the hospital and what happned, I get massive anxiety and panick attacks. Maybe thats normal?
I mean, everything went well otherwise. So I was told. But to be rushed out of the hospital like that. I think thats the thing that bothers me the most when I think about it. The nurses kept saying that they needed the room for someone else and they needed to get me going. Who the hell rushes someone when they just had anesthesia. Oh yeah, go take care of yourself at home. At least I was in my own environment in agony. Believe me, it was not a pretty sight. I intend to complain when my head is much clearer.
Crap, I think I am traumatized from the experience. I don't even want to visit for my preop or see my regular doctor... Hopefully it'sjust the meds giving me that anxiety before they fullow kick in and make me go to sleep. The current thought of it makes me upset.
