    First day right after the surgery was very hard but as every hour passed it got easier and easier.

    @Emileana congrats and happy you're doing well. My surgery is tomorrow and I'm petrified. How long did it take to get your pain under control?

    The hospital staff really helped with this. I did end up taking morphine while in hospital and they sent me home with a prescription that I have been taking ever since. But I only take 1 pill every 6 hours now opposed to 2 every 6 hours. Every day gets easier.

    Mine is TOMORROW!!! Excited and scared and happy and a tiny bit nervous. (Especially because a giant hernia is being repaired at the same time.) But I have faith. And lots and lots of prayers going up.

    Jhope71 im right behind you. 4/11. Hernia repair also. Yes lots of prayers for us.[emoji4]
