Day One Post-Op
Had my surgery yesterday. I was discharged at 1 today. I was feeling great when I left. Fever went up since getting home. But only 99.8 so not a concern yet. I'm struggling with the prosource. It has entirely way to much flavoring. I'm diluting it 1:1 with water just to get it down. Other than the slight fever and struggling with the the prosource I'm doing fine. Pain is very minimal. I tried to nap on my bed and it was way to soft. I woke up very stiff. I think I'll sleep on the sofa instead tonight.
How is my experience comparing to others so far?
Seems normal, although I have no idea what prosource is. Work on getting in your fluids and walking.

I would definitely keep a close eye on the fever. I work in surgery and we always tell patients to call the doctor if they run fever over 100.0. Could be the first indicator of infection. Best of luck to you! I am about 18 days post-op and today was the first "good" day for me. Hope you have an easy recovery!

Welcome to the "other side". Get your fluids in. I slept with my head raised on several pillows. might be more comfortable. I too had almost no pain and an easy recovery. Hope yours is to bu****ch the fever. Diane S
