I had surgery yesterday and it was a breeze. I've hardly had any pain. I feel great. Just learning how to drink slowly. I had a very dry mouth afterward and wanted to just chug my ice Water. Instead I had to work on it one ounce at a time. I walked every 2-3 hours last night and I'm trying to stay active now that I'm home.

Well, I'm sleepy. I'm going to go take a nap. If anyone has any questions about my surgical or hospital experience, I'll be happy to answer them. Reply to this post or send me a private message. Good luck to the rest of the April Avengers!

Congratulations Kim!! It sounds like you are doing awesome. I also had a dry mouth and a bit of a sore throat right after surgery but it went away. Woo Hoo!! Let's continue to encourage each other. Go April Avengers!!

Congratulations. Awesome barely any pain! I'm wondering how much assistance at home you've needed. I was told I can't lift more than 15 pounds and won't be allowed back to work (I sit all day, big deal) until after my checkup with the Dr one week later. I'm divorced with a 14 yr old and 2.5 yr old, both boys at home. So, I'm debating on having my 18 yr old neice to come help out, as long as I lock up my valuables.

JRob,

I felt great on Friday and Saturday, but yesterday I was definitely a lot more sore. I've had my mom here to help out and my ten year old son has been good for fetching stuff. I tried to get all of my housecleaning done before surgery. If you have the ability to have someone help you out then you might take her up on it...especially with your 2 year old child. Also, you might find you tire more easily after surgery. I have a long post about my surgical experience under the thread about Avengers checking in after surgery. All in all, it has not been a bad experience at all and I have absolutely no regrets. Best of luck to you.

Kim
