Topic: RE: I?m alive!

Congrats!!! I had a consult with Dr Katzen last month and really liked him. Now I'm trying to figure out when to have surgery and which procedures first. Are you staying at his recommended recovery center, and if so, for how long?

Stay medicated! I'm dreading getting up. Still laying down with the Lovenox shots to prevent blood clots. The catheter is a godsend. So happy to not get up to pee.

everything feels sooo tight. And even my hands and arms are swollen and they didn't do anything ti them.

Weird, but my inner elbows are so sore from being stretched out for so long!

i won't lie, it really hurts. But my doctor said it should get exponentially better every day. Looking forward to that.
