I've had two previous major surgeries - and both times I was like a zombie for at least 6 hours after they put me in my room. I've heard that they make you get up and walk pretty quickly, which helps with gas and blood clots. I totally get that...but if I'm not mentally aware, I'm a little afraid of not being able to understand what they need me to do - or worse: falling.
Can y'all describe how this was handled for your surgeries? I'm thinking maybe I just don't understand the process. (And yes, I'll be asking my doc when I see him for pre-op as well!)
