I had mine on the 20th too. Felling better each day. My left shoulder does hurt a little. But mainly it is the incisions that hurt mostly when I amgetting up from a sitting/ lying down position. I need to go out and get my family gifts and mycar oil changed, not sure if I want to do it today or give one more day before I brave the stores since I am still uncomfortable.

Unfortunately I have not been getting my Protein since surgery. I figure that will get better when I can start full liquids and the earliest I can do that is Saturday.

Fay- make sure ur either deep breath in, cough, let it out or using an incentive spirometer- breathing device that measures how deep ur breaths are, pain in lungs can be fluid and if ur not breathing in deep enough air can't get to the bottom of ur lungs and help move that fluid out, = penumonia, yuck! I know it hurts, hold a small pillow to ur abd and every hr 10 times breath in as deep as u can and let it out. IF it feels like a finger size space, not just hurting to breath deep, more like it hurts right there and only there you need to call ur doc NOW, could be a PE from a clot after surgery. Good luck with everything, here's to a new us!!
