Possible Tip for You on Sneezing After Any "Innards" Operation

The first time I sneezed after my operation, it was an explosion of pain at the incision. The second time I even clutched my stomach to support the tissue so it wouldn't hurt. Not much better. While the metal staples didn't burst, I was not looking forward to more sneezing.

I hope you'll pass this solution on, or use it yourself if you ever need it: It's easy in retrospect, and all you need is a HANDY TISSUE, Kleenex or even a hanky or napkin. Caveat, you only have a second or a few seconds to do it! What to do? Blow your nose gently. For me it immediately STOPPED the sneezing reflex cold.......Oh, you might say you knew this already. Well I didn't.
