That's so great to hear! It's so nice to be in your own bed. And I find stairs really help with the gas pains. Good luck with your test drive tonight! Do you have any incision pain on the left side? I can't even put a seatbelt on because of an enormous bruise on my left. Hopefully when I am the same time out you are I'll be trying to drive too - definitely miss the independence!! I hope it goes well for you so that you can take yourself to the GP appointment. If sneezing isn't painful then fingers crossed you'll be fine! Glad to hear you are mending so well

Thank you

Today is definitely better, I think I have to just be ok with needing pain pills and not try to space them out too far. I don't want to have to take them but I feel so much better when I do! Best to just take them and heal faster

I appreciate the well/wishes!!

Hope you start to feel better soon. I hear brushing is normal around the incision sites. Try the premier shakes, they are not that bad, also try skim or 1% milk because then youngest protein and fluids at the same time if you are finding water too hard to stomach.

It does get better, don't try to rush, take advantage of the ell. You are still learning and you might have a day where you drink or eat to fast u til you get used to things so don't rush home.

I am 5 weeks out, I love water but that's all I drank per surgery, no coffee, tea or other juice and stuff so I can't sympathize. I do hope it gets better for you!
