For me being at home is harder--even though we dont have any "contraband" in the house, I want a piece of cheese, something to crunch. Trying to stay busy and keep focused on 12 days from now!!

I had a pain drip and it was wonderful! I also had a device called "onQ", which has a little catheter that gave numbing medication directly to the incision inside. The worst pain is the gas that gets trapped under the diaphragm--the only way for it to go is to walk, walk, and fart! GasX strips are wonderful! The first week was rough for me, but 10 days post op I was helping a friend paint her new house! Dont let your fear of the physical pain stop you!! It is temporary!! You can do this!!
