One of the girls at the hospital told me to check with the doctor who prescribed my plavix (my blood thinner) to see when to return to it. I called and the assistant said, oh immediately. You should already be on it. So, being the good patient I am, I started back on it on 8/26.
I was in such pain that night that i couldn't sit up, lie down, roll over, sip water, moan - that's what i could do. i called my surgeon's office and left a message they eventually said they never got. all this continues thru the following day. i was pissed because i didn't know what was causing it and i had been doing so well. i finally got a call thru to dr. kennedy's personal line and she had them call me almost as soon as i hung up. stop the plavix. no more plavix. it is irritating you stomach. take as many of your other meds as you can but stop the plavix.
who knew a little pill that does so well for people could wreak such havoc in a new banana sized stomach??
my blood sugar has been hovering around 110 and that's without any medicines whatsoever. i'm so thankful. my blood pressure has been 115/67 except for those pain days and it was whatever/53.
i'm slowly building my strength back and will weigh before my next post.
Thank you guys for reading. I need your support.
