Day 1 of Surgery Recovery!

I will try in the next few posts to share some of the surgery experience.

Day one, I must say was quite a good day! I remember thinking that this wasn't so bad after all. I got up and walked alot (probably 5-6 times that first night). The pain wasn't bad at all... overall, a euforic, morphine induced state to say the least.

Cannot say the same about day 2... but more on that next post.

I have trouble sitting and doing anything for any length of time.... a little bit cause of pain, and a little bit due to anxiety/attention span ... possibly due to medication also...

This is actually Saturday (3 days after surgery) and I am doing better than I expected to be, to be honest... so that's a good thing! I've gotten most of my liquid requirement in, and all of my protein drinks in, just doing broth and liquid for the rest of the evening. (easier) Tolerating the vitamin regiment and several pills!

I have gotten off the narcotic pain meds, and now just take childrens tylenol (liquid - YUCK).

I'll write more a little later...
