Good luck and don't worry.  Everything will come out a lot better than you think.  Also, you will feel a lot worst than you think.  Get up as soon as you can.  The most relevant tips I got came from Don.  "Walk, walk, sip, sip and never ever trust a fart!" These will all be very important the first week post op.

It made me laugh too when Don told me.  Then, after surgery I laughed even more when I "trusted" one...

Best of luck,

I'm back home and doing well, The pain medicine I got at the hospital is wearing off and I am getting sore but nothing unexpected , Been taking the Hydrocodone - Tylenol every 6 hours to stay on top of it. I'm sore in weird places like my left wrist and arm  is sore for some reason and my wife which is an R.N said " don't you know that they had you up and doing the hula dance while you were under anesthesia"  I told her they must have done something like that to me.cuz it's hurts  weird ... 

I had 30 cc of broth, 30 cc of jello and a sugar free ice pop for supper.  I stay on this diet for four days then move on to full.

Thanks
