Lol I did the same thing the day before surgery. I completely pampered myself. Felt so good. I over did it on the walking today as well. So looks like it's me,.my bed, pain med and ice packs for the night. I also have to remind myself not to put my abdominal binder on so tight. "NOTE TO SELF IT'S A BINDER NOT A GIRDLE!!!!!!" LOL

I don't want anything else so you can have that one.... Winner winner chicken dinner... If they don't let me out today I'm going to walk down the halls with my gown open on totally naked... Swear.. I'm losing it in here..bahaha..hope you feel better

Lol winner winner chicken BROTH dinner!! ;)
