The IV will probably be another story since it stays in all 3 days. I will say a prayer for you that you will be able to handle it okay and the time will pass quickly. I don't think it's silly at all. Jamie is the same way about needles. Everyone has their "things" that they get nervous about. That just happens to be your "thing".Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16476868076368969797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401027709659276948.post-13633697454223121722007-11-20T07:41:00.000-08:002007-11-20T07:41:00.000-08:00I had a catheter with Angus and it really wasn't b...I had a catheter with Angus and it really wasn't bad at all. They spray your urethra with anesthetic spray so you don't feel it go in. You will actually be very very glad you have it in because they will pump you so full of IV fluids that you would be going to the toilet every 30 minutes if you didn't have it. And standing up and walking after abdominal surgery is torture. So anything that can maximize your ability to sleep in bed without walking or standing is a good thing! As for the other stuff, hopefully the pain meds are good enough that you forget about them.Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033228273412280786noreply@blogger.com
