first night home from hospital

Man...I'm sore. It was a little harder sleeping completely flat versus elevated in the hospital bed. Harder to get in and out of bed too. My wife had a fund raising event for work that she couldnt miss so im on my own today. Hopefully I will be able to get up and move around on my own.

Congrats on a successful surgery! I agree, every day gets a little better. I wound up sleeping in a recliner the first few nights to make it easier and a heating pad helped with the soreness a bit. Be well.

I just got up and did some walking. Dont want to try the stairs without my wife so I did the hallway back and forth for a while. Maybe when she gets home we'll head on down the street.

Last night was my first night home after surgery too! I slept in my bed, but slept sitting up because I just didn't think I could handle laying on my back and since I'm naturally a side sleeper, that couldn't happen!

Hope today is a good day for you!

With several days now behind you, how are things going?

Its day six post op now. Feeling much better. Still a little sore but now its mostly discomfort rather than pain. The gas pains are pretty much gone. Sleeping is still difficult because I'm usually face down and I dont want to try that yet.

Powerade Zero is my go to drink and Smart Water ... But I love the Powerade Zero :)
