My incisions and stomach are REALLY hurting...I'm on lortabs, but they keep me AWAKE. It's Saturday morning, DS is at SO's parents and I've been up since 6am...didn't to go bed til after midnight. I'm a napper - couldn't even nap yesterday after the surgery.
I don't know what to do, it's driving me insane.

Sometimes certian meds can have an affect on your brain that makes you wide awake, even when your body is sooo tired it cant function. I did this, I was so tired I couldnt move but my head was going a thousand times and I coulsnr settle down and go to sleep.
Can you ask for something different for pain?
How about some gravol?

What's gravol? SO is goign to the pharmacy to get me some nyquil - that usually helps me sleep. If that doesn't work, I'll call the dr. and ask for something else.

I would ditch the pain pills they gave you and try a combo of a couple of Tylenol 1s (OTC in Canada, although they are kept behind the counter so you have to ask the pharmacist) and a couple of Ibuprofen, and see if that gives you enough pain relief to let you get some shut-eye.
