Oh My Goodness only 10 that's right 10 more days till I enter Bandland!! I cant believe time is flying so fast! I am super excited, yet nervous at the same time not scared but nervous. I know everything is going to be fine just not looking forward to the post op pain that people talk about, I am only taking 4 days off that's all I could afford so I hope I'll bounce back quickly..Good luck to all the other Aug 26'ers out there may we all have wonderful success!!!!

Your experience and Mileage may vary. So far my recovery has gone really well. Surgery Thur 8/12, left hospital Friday afternoon 8/13, Sat afternoon 8/14 went out shopping with my mother (she drove) and did short spurts walking in several stores. Today Mon 8/16 while my mother went swimming at the gym I went on the treadmill at 1 mph for 30 minutes. First couple days was soar getting up from laying down but that is getting better. Probably my biggest issue was a reaction I had to the tape they used during the surgery. I am only on Tylenol right now.
