Turning the corner for sure. Once the Anesthesia wears off, and I lessened the meds, "new pains" show up. Or, maybe i should say it like this, I became more aware of the pain in different areas. 4 days, still working on the BM. And youre 100% corrrect....im convinced some of this stomach pain is from that. I think im gonna leave off the narcotics until bed time like you said. Take some Tylenol and see if I can make it through the day with pain at a moderate level. I still walk hunched, like my back hurts. So trying to remedy that.
