I had my clipping done on May 6th. The surgery went well and I did not have the bypass. I had a lot of nausea and vomiting from the pain meds they tried. I was on anti-nausea and anti-vomiting meds. I was finally able to keep food down on Thursday. They finally found a pain med I could take orally. The pain has been bearable for the most part.
I was in the ICU until Friday because that was the earliest they could gt me a reegular room. Sleeping has been difficult because I can’t find a comfortable position. Just going to th bathroom, crossing the room or moving to a chair is tiring.
I passed all my tests so I was released today. They do want me to come back in a few weeks for a full PT evaluation. So, I am home now just trying to rest. Thank you for all the prayers and positive thoughts.
Terri So HAPPY to hear from you tonight! Been wondering how you've been doing, how surgery went, etc. etc. !
Now, the 'best part' is just beginning, the "OMG thank God this is over and behind me" (Part 1) is well behind you , nothing but health and healing is before you ! Rest up (And happy Mothers Days to you by the way!)

Welcome Home Terri,
I am happy that all went well for you. I am 17 days post op. I also have been having problems being comfortable sleeping. I have now been using one of those traveling pillows the U shaped type with styro-foam type beads in them. Works for me. Now that the surgery is behind you.... Recovery :o)
