They gave me something like that at the hospital, but it took a while to kick in. I haven't vomited since last night, so I think I'm in the clear. Now I just have to stop myself from touching it.

Were you with your mom when she had her thyroid removed?

No, I was not with her when she actually had the surgery, but I stayed with her during her whole recovery.  

Don't you have a dressing on your incision?

No, it's some kind of tape that will come off by itself in a week.

I hope you feel better, soon. Good luck with the meds.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Hopefully you'll feel better in a few days- my brother had that op and although he felt rough for a few days he was back on his feet pretty quickly.

Been there, though not with that specific surgery. I had an anguinal hernia. I was out and walking about, albeit quite slowly four days later. --If you were proscribed opiate painkillers, I suppose you know that you have a ten day window of usage before you begin to develop a physical addiction to them. --If you were not told this, you have now been warned. --I was off the opiates in 5 days, pain be damned.

I don't know what it's classified as but the drug is called meprozine. What's an aguinal hernia?

Looks like a pretty strong pain medication combined with an anti-nausea medication.

It's a hernia in the groin.

Also Meprozine appears to be combination pain killer / anti-nasuea medication. The painkiller used, meperidine is a Narcotic agent.

Yeah, it's pretty strong. As soon as I took it it felt like I was going to pass out. At least it's not making me throw up.

Wow, I never even noticed.

That sounds absolutely horrid. I hope it wasn't as painful as it sounds.

Actually it did hurt, as did the bruise that I got last may when I passed out/had some type of seizure in my bathroom last may. With the fall, I stayed out of work for a few days, not having the cash on hand to get it checked out properly by a Doctor. I went to work the next week, still feeling sore, but otherwise doing my duties ( Lumberyard warehouse, loading and unloading wood trim and doors from trucks.) Almost two and a half weeks later, I was carrying two doors when I collapsed in pain. I was taken to the doctor's office where an X-Ray revealed two broken ribs obtained in the fall . --I appear to be quite resistant to persistant pain.
