Hey there everyone! I had surgery on 9/27/10. If you recall, I quit CT prior to that with the much needed help from this group. Well the surgery didn't go as planned. I still have a large stricture in my common bile duct. They put a very large metal stint in it that will stay there for at least 6 mos to a year. The pain was the most intense to date of all the 9 surgeries. So of course I was on a PCA pump pumping me with Dilaudid. After day two I asked for the pump to be removed. The WD came within hours. Sweats, chills, flu, aches, etc. This time I knew what they were so it made it easier for me. The pain was intense still so I was sent home with Norcos 10/325 to take 4 to 6 a day. Well of course I took them all. Right now I've been CT for about 39 hours. It is far less than the previous WD's. But none the less its WD's!!! I keep telling myself I can do this and I don't need the pills. I see the doctor tommorrow and I will not be taking home a script for this poision!!! I could kick myself in the butt for doing this again. I felt so good being pain pill free. I world was bright and ALIVE!! Today I'm pumping myself with vitamins, fluids, and trying to stop going to the bathroom. Arrrrggggg this *****!! I know I can do it. I know that tommorrow it will be much better. I just keep counting the hours. I guess its back to keeping busy and getting the house super clean. Then a much needed walk with the 4 year old. Thank you all for your support and just letting me vent. This site is a GOD sent.
