    Everyones situation has been a little different. I can tell you the first two days I was good because of the pain meds. You will be sore from your tummy getting up and but i'm sure your nurses will help. Don't overdue yourself....ask for help. I also took dissolvable gas x strips that my dr allowed me to take as soon as I woke up and that helped with the gas but you want to check with your dr. Good luck and your in my prayers.

    Your parents are just worried but I know it's a lot right now because you have your own concerns and hon tomorrow night you will probably be more worried and second guessing yourself. Completely normal...we all did. Take this time for yourself . If you are alone have water and everything you need near by you. It's going to be difficult to get yourself up because your stomach will be sore. I slept in a recliner in the beginning it was easier to get out of. Try this ...lay in bed tonight and try get up by not using your stomach muscle. Try not to do a sit up. Use your arms. This will help you come up with how you need to sleep or what things you need around to help you get up. I'm just saying to try it since it sounds like you may be at home alone and getting up sometimes is hard if you don't have help. I also live in San Antonio and if you need anything let me know.

    I can't wait to be there. I already have friends already claiming clothes but I told them $20 will get them in my closet.
    What about your feet? Anyone drop a shoe size?
