Hi Misfitn2014, I am a Texas girl too. I had my surgery on April 16th at 4:00 in the afternoon and I was released at 3:20 the next day. I was up walking the halls by 7 that night. I was sleepy the first couple of days,, but by the third day I was doing pretty good. The third day after surgery was my daughter's senior prom, so was up helping her get ready and then went to the pre-party with all the other parents taking pictures. I was socializing and taking pictures, no one at the party had any idea I had anything done. I didn't tell them either, later when I get more comfortable with things. The parents all decided to go out to eat at a Mexican restaurant, so my husband and I went too. I order a cup of tortilla soup, an just spooned out the broth. Everyone was socializing and having a great time so no one was paying attention to me. I felt like I handled everything great, and was pleased that I was doing so well.
