    the pain meds she was on even when she takes them at home she gets sick so i'm thinking that is waht is causing the nausea from where she has been taking them for a couple of days.... got them to switch to a different type of pain med that she has been on before and no major side effects just a migraine every now and then.... and of course a hangover feeling a day or so later....

    i doubt it she was under friday and it should have hit her saturday or maybe even as late as sunday.... plus here 99% of the time they use the same anestesha(i think is how you spell it) for all surgeries... the only reason they change it is if your allergic to one of the drugs or health reasons prevent them from giving them to you....

  9. Anesthesia* Jsyk. Looked it up in a dictionary. Anyways, I don't see how that can affect her?

    they had her on percocet not sure of the dose but every time they perscribe them to her they give her percocet 5's and she only takes half a pill and she still gets sick from them.... she's a lite weight when it comes to pain killers....

    i think they were inadvertantly overdosing her on pain meds.... the reason i say this is because of her prior reactions to this medication..... if they were all the symptoms should disappear within 12 hours of them changing her meds....
     
  13. Hmmmm.. Wouldn't be surprised...

    true except for the fact that she tells them she doesnt like high powered drugs..... that they make her sick when she takes them and she asks for the stuff most druggies dont ask for like ultram(synthetic and doesnt get you high)

    Well no go on the come home today. The doc seems really hopeful that she will beable to release her tomorrow.

    But when I went to see her she was sitting up in her chair and took a shower. And then she walked from her room down the hall to another section of the hospital and the down another hall to the labor and delivery section of the hospital. I'd say she walked around a city block today. Which is well more than she has walked since the surgery.
