Thank!. Were you feeling out of it on the way home?...in pain? ...did you find it hard to get up off a couch or chair?

I came home today in a car and it was fine. Just take a pillow with you and press it lightly against your belly.

not really pain, just sore. i slept in a recliner for a week cause it was just easier to get up. u dont realize how many muscles u use to get up.

Just bring the pillow and tell them to watch the bumps, and you'll be just fine. No problems getting up, just couldn't bend over.

I rode home in the back of a NYC taxi through the potholed streets of Manhattan. NYC taxi drivers are not known for their cautious driving. If only they could have kept me hooked up to my pain pump for the ride home.
