I wake up around 3:30am (I can see my clock!) with a horrible headache. It reminded me of the sneaky migraines I'd get occasionally. I tried shaking it off and go back to sleep. I wake up at 6:30am and it's twice as bad. I decide to get up and try to get another 1/2 Vicodin in me along with some liquid anti-nausea medicine. I do all of my drops. I somehow stomach that and go back to sleep.
I wake up at 10am feeling even more sick to my stomach. I take more anti-nausea medicine, do more drops, eat a banana, and go back to sleep.
10:30 am, I wake up vomiting. Not cool at all. I sip some vitamin water, drink more anti-nausea meds, and do more drops.
11:30 am I get up and make some oatmeal to take another 1/2 Vicodin. I can't handle the headache anymore. I do my full round of drops and climb back into bed.
12:00 (I can still see the clock!) everything comes up and I'm really feeling bad at this point. I end up calling my husband to come home from work.
I proceeded to be sick for the rest of the afternoon. By evening my husband was worried that I had become dehydrated. He decided it was best that I start sipping gatoraid and liquid Tylenol. This eventually worked. By the end of the night, I drank 1/3 of the gatoraid, stomached the Tylenol, and ate a little bit of food.
I do not know if my headache was a result of the surgery, an illness, day in my cycle, or from stress. What I do know is that having a sensitivity to codeine made it worse. Be prepared for a headache just in case!
By now I can see some distance but cannot read anything. This was definitely frustrating because I was getting a flood of texts and couldn't answer them. Sometimes the light from the TV hurt my eyes sometimes it didn't. I have an eye mask made for migraines that has an ice pack that you insert it. This truly helped me.
I decided to go to bed without taking the prescribed Ambien so I could wake up for re-wetting drops and to intake some liquids.
