Post surgery

@Trikki2

@lrb_03 - they knew how I was but I forgot to ask them for nausea meds. I have them now so that is helping. I do think once I can get all the anesthetic etc out of my body I will feel better. How are you 

@arpie
 Thanks I have about 6 pillows keeping me company. Lucky for Netflix and foxtel. I'm happy you are ok. Did you just have radiation ??

Thanks for replying @kmakm. I am happy with my reduction. Just feel awful now. Just got wafers for Nausea. So beginning. What gives me comfort is that I can write a post and get help from you guys. Thanks so much.

Lots of people have adverse reactions to medication and dressings. The most important thing to do if you have further procedures is tell your surgeon, your anaesthetist, your nurses, anyone who listens, that you had an adverse reaction to a drug in the previous operation. There are almost always alternatives to try.

Yes, lots of people sleep propped up after breast surgery. I know I did! Some women after reconstruction sleep in recliner chairs.

Drink plenty of water to flush the drugs from your system, and maybe see your GP if it doesn't stop.

Are you happy with your reduction? K xox

Good to know you are feeling 'sorta ok' .... it takes a while to get a comfy sleeping position - and the upright one with about 8 pillows around you will work!  ;)   

Re the nausea/dizzy - You could still be affected a bit by the anaesthetic as well as the dye etc - it can take a while to work it's way out of your system - I think drinking lots of water may help flush it out!  Just take everything really slowly - specially when standing up after sleeping/lying down ..... I am usually like that after an op too (plus throw up a lot.)   Just put your legs over the bed edge first for a minute, then stand whilst leaning on the bed for a minute before taking the first steps - just in case the dizzy/nausea feeing comes on you.  I've nearly passed out a coupe of times, jumping out of bed following anaesthetic!  :( 

Try not to 2nd guess the path results (she says knowingly!  I was a bit freaked, waiting for mine too, in Jan!) Luckily mine were good  ... fingers crossed yours are too!

Thinking of you - try & keep yourself busy with things you enjoy & that you can do without too much effort - even just reading, watching funny movies - whatever you like doing .... to help pass the time.  xxx

Hi @Trikki2, if you're still feeling nauseated and dizzy, I would think possibly the pain medication. Were they aware you were still feeling this way when discharged?
Hope it eases soon
