I spent most of the day crying. I'm just so tired and exhausted and feel why me! Then I think I choose to do this to me. I must be crazy! My throat hurt most of the day making it hard to eat or drink! I'm down 10lbs from surgery date and I do not think that is a good thing!
The patient coordinator from my drs office called today to Che k on me! I barely have any voice and then I start crying on top of that! Not a god combination! She apologized for how I was treated by the nurse and said that she will have the office manager call me back. The office manager called back and I started crying telling her if I have to go back and see that nurse again I'm not coming back I'll follow up with my primary care dr then! She apologized and found me another nurse to see. Unfortunatly my PS father passed away last night so he won't be available for a few days but another dr is on call for him. I told them I'm ok I don't need to speak to a dr but I'm exhausted from strep throat and this experience has been miserable! Well I'm glad that all this is beyond me and I don't have to see that nurse anymore! I was able to swallow soup that my friend made homemade for me so she could watch the sodium! I'm glad I have the best family and friends or I wouldn't of made it this far!! Hopefully tomorrow is a better day emotionally!

5th day post op--
Sleeping last night was hell. My throat is still on fire. I thought after 24 hours on medicine I would start to feel better. Nope not me. I can't even swallow my own spit it hurts so bad.
Worst part went for my follow up appointment and I felt since yesterday the nurse has been nothing but rude to me. Today she told me that strep throat has nothing to do with them they treat the tummy. Well considering that I went into surgery Friday feeling fine. Step throat has 24hr incubation period and it's funny I got it Saturday night. None of my friends or family nor my son that has been home with me everyday have it. The PS is really nice and the staff that you see before is really nice but the aftercare sucks! My friend said they got ur money they could care less now and that's how I'm starting to feel!

4th day post op--
Last night was a nightmare. My tempature continued to spike and my throat start to swell and close off. Around midnight my mother came over and took me to the ER. I tested positive for Strep throat!! Just what I needed. ER gave me penicillin and released me. I came home took pain meds hoping it would help my sleep. My throat hurt so bad and the pain was extreme I couldn't eat or drink anything.
My tummy tuck surgery hasn't been hurting much at all today. The only real pain I have is my throat and head. I hope this penicillin kicks in quick bc I'm miserable. I've tried milkshakes, jello, ice cubes, and ice water. None of them can I swallow without being in severe pain! I tried to talk but thats not happening either.
Tomorrow I have my first checkup since surgery! Hopefully that goes well! and I'm praying by the time I wake up tomorrow the penicillin has set in and gives my throat some release!

Dr has been great! But you have to go through staff to get to him. Everything is great unless you have complications and need follow up care. Then forget it bc the nurse handles that and not the dr and she is plain rude and insensitive.
