Surgery on Wednesday ...oh f... :)

[Rico]

So it begins....at last

surgery in 2 days.....i can't say i'm calm, but i'm not in panic state

even i'm more irritated, cause after prolonged antibiotic course i have slightly irritated ass (flora damaged) I need fluconazole for a 2-3 days, but I can't take it
even after surgery probably i won't get it.. fluconazole has extreme number of interactions.. in emergency, when additional procedure needed it might be a problem

i wonder what will be more annoyed for me slight pain in the ass or pain on the face

Are you taking probiotics?

I had mine on Friday, it's not fun but not as bad as I expected.

Tips #1: take something to write on - Nurses come & go & forget stuff so having a note pad helps. It definitely happened a few times where they handed me pills to take when I am obviously in no position to do that.

Tip #2: Phentinil or codeine on an empty stomach lead to really bad nausea. The pain wasn't that bad but when the drugs make you sick, that is really unpleasant. They can give you anti-nausea but its an injection so with the codeine, if you need it take it slowly over time. I tried just 1ml this afternoon when I got home & even with a juice drink on my stomach I still felt blurgh.

I hear day 4 or 5 are the worst generally so I'm just focusing on getting those out of the way. I look like a melon so it would be great if the swelling went down too.

Good luck!

yes i'm taking probiotics...

but it has not prevented from slight inflammation/ it probably does not interfere with surgery...but it interfere with my mind.. it's not good for being calm having any additional problems. Worst period in my life

i used to have such thing in past when I took antibiotic longer and fluconazole helped within 2 days
but now i can't take and i'm annoyed.
when  bacteria flora is not ideal, somehow mucous membrane are more susceptible for any damages / irritation etc. loose their flexibility

and there are gonna give me antibiotic iv during surgery. I hope they will be able to give me fluconazole it will be much easier and safer for me
