| Hang in there Britt. Just drink lots of water. I know it's hard but it's get better each day. Drink water, do soups that don't contain acids and by five days you will see an improvement. Oh, ask you doctor for the liquidfly pain drugs. I had Demerol |

Hang in there, I had mine done on Thursday too, so I understand where your at. I know you've heard it until your blue in your face, but drink more water!!! I really have found that my pain is less the more water I drink. Also, I had to change my pain meds. They gave me Vicodin, one every eight hours, but the medicine was wearing out after about three hours, so I cut a pill in half and then took one half every four hours and I have been great since then. I'm drinking anywhere from 8-12 glasses of water a day, easily.
Have your scabs started coming off yet? mine did yesterday and it's a very uncomfortable strange feeling! |
