Well I made it home safely, being driven home wasn't as painful as expected. The pillow trick definitely helped. I was in the hospital for 24 hrs, not to bad if ya ask me. My inscision's are looking really good for just a day out. They glued the outside, so it's seamless. For the most part the staff at hospital were nice. I definitely wasn't fawned over, I did have to ask every 3 hrs for pain meds. I wasn't given a morphine pump like so folks do ???? it was very inconvenient I tell us.. But at least it kept me informed when I received and outta pain.

Wow! Your incisions look a million times better than mine and we had surgery on the same day! I'm definitely a bruiser

Wow you totally are a bruiser. I usually am, but not this time. It's probably because I've been so faithful with vitamins and such. Today has been an even better day pain wise. How bout you?

I've had zero pain. They gave me pain meds midnight after surgery and that was it. Guess I'll take the bruising over the pain. I have 1 incision that's a little sore, but pretty sure that's because I'm incapable of staying still. Up/down, up/down. Here's the bruise from my iv start attempts, so definitely a bruiser! Oh well, they go away!!!

Damn girl ???? that is some serious bruising. You are lucky with the pain part. I typically have a very high tolerance for pain, but not the typical reaction with this journey. Wowsa lol my inscision's are just in general, tender. I've had no problems sitting still at all. I'm shocked that I've been able to rest as much as I have, considering me and my partner have a 4 year old son. He kinda understands I need my rest. He's been super sweet coming upstairs to ask if I need anything.

I could really use some more pain meds. I'm gonna have to call doc tomorrow and see if they will give me more. I sure hope they don't give me any problems with it. I'll be in big trouble if they don't. I still need them..

That sucks. I'm sorry! ????. Hopefully they'll be cool about it!
