Vicky bless your heart. I hate that you had such a horrible time with this prep and then to wake up with a migraine only made matters worse for you. I pray that things go better for you on Wednesday...
I too have to agree with Randy. I've had this surgery twice since 1995. You have to take it slow and easy. For me the hardest to do was to get myself out of bed the 1st time after each of my...

I've had 2 resections of the TI, the 1st one in 1995 and the 2nd one in 2005. The 1st one was done during an emergency surgery because my appendix had ruptured so I have very lovely incision that is...
I take B-12 shots on a regular basis and my husband gives them to me. It's cheaper for me not to turn my B-12 prescription in on my insurance because my co-pay for it would be $10 but I only pay...
