How terrible (and scary!) Thank goodness you didn't need any more stitches or anything. I couldn't imagine just gushing blood form the mouth though....yuck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/had-my-first-surgery-tonight#post-579724 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:56:35 +0000 Chillybear 579724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I was about 2 weeks post-op I had gotten the all clear to go back to work. I probably over did it that day with laughing, talking, catching up with co-workers. Right after lunch, I was just gushing blood from my mouth and it wouldnt stop so i drove to the ER, Hubs (BF at the time) met me there and by the time i sat in triage and met with a doc the bleeding stopped so they sent me home to rest for another 4 days. it was awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/had-my-first-surgery-tonight#post-579550 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:25:29 +0000 MrsBrewer 579550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: Oh no!!! The only thing that happened with me (besides it just being hell in general) my pain meds that I was given (liquid vicodin) was prescribed in mL, and my mom thought she knew the conversion to teaspoons. Well I was supposed to be taking like 1 tsp every 4-6 hours, and she was giving me 1 Tbsp every 4-6 hrs. So I was sleeping A LOT, but since I was barely eating, I got soooo sick to my stomach, so then I would start puking, and then my throat bled, and ugh it was just really bad....</p> <p>What did they have to do for you? Did you need new stitches or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/had-my-first-surgery-tonight#post-579535 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:22:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 579535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an ear piercing get super infected and had to get it lanced and drained-- on my birthday! It sucked, but more so the gross and unpleasant factor than actual pain. </p> <p>I had my wisdom teeth out 2 years ago and also didn't react well to the anesthesia. Apparently I woke up TWICE during the surgery, but don't remember (thank god) and when I did wake up at the end, I just kept pointing to the chair where DH had been sitting when I went under until he came back. I think I cried too, but at least I didn't escape to Arby's, I guess! :)</p> <p>I also had Lasik, and the worst part was being awake for it. So scary-- like sky diving scary-- but then I was SO happy I did it.</p> <p>DH has had so many real surgeries and laughs at me for thinking these are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/had-my-first-surgery-tonight#post-579523 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:18:53 +0000 Chillybear 579523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I had my tonsils removed at 22 and i agree 2 weeks of pure hell... then my scabs popped and i ended up in the ER </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/had-my-first-surgery-tonight#post-579513 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:17:47 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 579513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: when I woke up from the anesthesia after having my wisdom teeth out I starting crying and having a panic attack. I don't remember much of it. Apparently it scared my DH and the nurse told him that women tend to freak out when they wake up and men get violent. </p> <p>I've had my tonsils and adenoids removed, wisdom teeth, and a few moles removed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/had-my-first-surgery-tonight#post-579501 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:14:20 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 579501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Ouch! </p> <p>I've had 3 surgeries - 2 for my knee and one for my wisdom teeth.

The first C-section was horrible. The wisdom teeth surgery was pretty bad too, I was only frozen (thought I was going to be put under, small town hick dentist) and the freezing wore off half way through! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/had-my-first-surgery-tonight#post-578802 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 09:53:29 +0000 knittylady 578802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a spinal fusion to correct scoliosis when I was 14.
