I had my surgery on Monday. Got home from the hospital Tuesday afternoon. This is late Wednesday night. I got in all of my fluid, all of my protein and walked for over an hour in the park this evening!! I don't know what I expected but it surely wasn't this. One of my friends, Jen in SoCal told me to get up ASAP and I did. I walked 16 laps around the floor the night of my surgery and eight the next morning before I left. I find it really hard to get up out of bed but other than that I feel great.

Great job! Keep it up! I took the same approach & I am feeling great!

That is awesome keep up the good work!!

So glad you're home and feeling great!

Happy to hear u r doing so well......keep up the hard work.

Great, great job. It truly is amazing isn't it!!

Wtg keep up the good work

Very encouraging! I was told we have to stay in the hospital 2 nights minimum but, sounds like you were able to go home after 1 night and doing well. That's great!

Getting up and moving is definitely the key. I went home next day as well....of course I didn't do 16 laps but got up and moving...even before they removed the catheter. I'm not really a hospital type of gal
