1st post...2 days til surgery....fingers crossed! Starting to get a little nervous.

Thanks to everyone who has shared their experiences. I have certainly learned more on here than I have anywhere else.

I read that quite a few people felt miserable right after surgery, but when did everyone start to feel a little better?

And, when were you able to drive again?

Hi, my surgery was last Wed. (Jan. 9th) and I started feeling pretty good yesterday. I'm off my pain meds and sleeping well. Everyone's different, so it's hard to compare. Good luck!

After about four days I felt better and was driving as soon as I was off the pain meds about five days out. Best wishes.

Thanks KFlan and Swimmer!! Continued good health to both of you =)
