I feel pretty good. My pain was honestly not that bad. I think the key was to do the walking. They make you get up and walk around the hospital really soon and I think forcing my self to do it helped a lot. At this point the pain is all but gone. It comes mostly from the air they pump into your chest and the walking works that out. Hope this helps

Hello...I'm so thankful that there are resources out there for us. I look forward to getting advice from you all. I'm doing pretty great so far. That "lump in my throat" feeling I had when I swallowed from the air they pump into you is pretty much gone...thank goodness. That was the most uncomfortable thing but smaller sips pretty much took care of it. I'm excited about this journey.
