I had a laparoscopy for mild endo several years back and I don't remember some of the things you're talking about - I don't think I had to take medications...anyway, one thing I do remember that I wanted to share is that when I woke up after the surgery, the nurses said if I could get up and go the bathroom, I could go home. I was very woozy and weak and my best friend was with me - she whispered, "Don't do it! Just play dead!" So I did - I said I couldn't get up, and it was the best choice. It meant staying there the night and getting taken care of and being helped and leaving the next day feeling much better and able to ask coherent questions and get information. That's my advice - don't get up to pee afterwards so you can stay the night and be taken care of/observed. AND one more thing - the Tylenol 3 really binds you up, so you may want to ask your naturopath or someone for something you can take alongside it.<br />Thinking of you and hoping for a smooth and informative procedure!<br />Love,<br />Maddy<br />P.S. Thanks for finding my blog again - I missed you.Mad Hatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262994711680542891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931055518502256838.post-16008997056230805162012-03-20T03:58:25.832-07:002012-03-20T03:58:25.832-07:00It's probably a good thing to be so busy, righ...It's probably a good thing to be so busy, right?
