GI Bug + Surgery Pain = A Miserable Weekend

Thursday I was feeling okay. Not great so I was still needing pain meds, but I was doing okay. Then yesterday morning I took a pain pill on an empty stomach. Not good. I quickly got something in my tummy, and I was better for a while, but the nausea persisted all day long. Then this morning at 1:00 AM I was in horrible pain. Not surgery pain, but that sick GI pain. It was a cross between nausea and diarrhea pain. I spent the whole night in the bathroom. But of course, and this is TMI here, I couldn't strain because of the stitches so I just had to sit. Then I'd start to get nauseated and I'd have to throw up. Then I'd get that icky gurggly stomach...it was an endless cycle. Oh my God, I was miserable. FINALLY at about 5:00 this morning I got to sleep (after sending J on a 3:30 Wal.green's run for Imodi.um AD and Eme.trol.) I'm still nauseated, but I've at least gotten some mashed potatoes down and kept it down. I just want to feel better...
