This board has really brought light to why i haven't healed yet. All this time I'm thinking I'd be ok in 3-4days as the doctor prescribed but I'm over here thinking i must have the worse pain tolerance and healing tissues ever. I had THD Surgery on Monday 2/6 and told my employer i should be good to go by Friday ( hosting an event) YEAH RIGHT! I feel like such a liar. I haven't had a full nights rest bc pain wakes me up every2-4 hrs. I'm taking percocet and ibuprofen to manage pain, magnesium and Metamucil for constipation. Since BM are like a mental/physical battle of how mentally tough i can be I haven't really ate anything since Sunday. I eat applesauce and soup but I don't think I'm getting enough bc i feel nauseous all day. I don't want to struggle to have a BM but I also know food is needed with all the pain meds. I'm hoping to see light at the end of the tunnel by Sunday because I NEED TO FREAKIN WORK. Does anyone have any encouraging words to help my recovery process and to sleep through the night? I'm desperate for any formula to have soft calm BMs and to function as a human being seeking life outside of my bed and tub
