The Worst Cough of My Life

Hello everyone. Ok. So yesterday, I had to cough. I proceeded to cough the flem out of my chest and it was so thick, that it got stuck and I could not breath. I did what I thought anyone in that situation would do....I panacked and I jumped up out this recliner so fast. Then, I had to cough harder to get the flem out. I just knew I popped something. That was the most frightening thing I have experienced since the surgery. Other than that, I must say that I am on schedule with the healing process. When I changed my dressing the other day, I felt nauseous. ...not sure why. I will post a pic with me still ib my binder. Hopefully soon I can do a before and after pic

I felt queasy when we changed my dressings too. I think it's just the activity and the concentration that causes it. That sucks about the cough.

I really feel he us a wonderful MD, I really wanted to have him to do mine, but his new office wasn't ready yet. He will be my first and only choice for future surgeries... Excellent personality!

Well, my husband and my kids has been really helpful. Yesterday after the surgery, I came home, I went to the bathroom every hour and a half. When I got up to go to the bathroom, I took a little walk too. On thing is for sure, my back hurts like hell. If I am standing for too long, it starts to throb. About my meds, my husband is waiting every 4 hours on the pain medication and I keep telling him I need it every 3.5. By the time he give me my meds, the previous dose wore off! He so scared im gonna overdose! I am draining alot..... hopefully these drains will come out in a week. I have my husband change them, they make me gag! Well, thats it for now, I will do another update later. Many thanks goes out to all of you for your prayers, well wishes, support, and guidance. I love y'all! And to get through this, I needed the support of all of you!

My doc said I could take the percocet every 3-4 hours. I'm up to 4-4.5 hours now. Your recovery sounds similar to mind so far. I too am peeing more frequently and going for a little walk around my house when I do.

Well, im on my way to the surgery center. I am so excited! All of my closest friends called or texted me to wish me well. I think that once I get there, I will loose all the excitement and become nervous because reality will start to sink in. Well, I hope I am feeling up to posting about my experience after the surgery. On that note, I will see you on the flat side ladies! Donna, good luck today!
