How long did you feel bad?

 My surgery was on Thursday and I felt great on Monday. I even went for a mile walk on Monday. By Wednesday I was walking three miles. I never needed pain pills. Maybe I am a freak, but I like to give credit to my surgeon.

Don I had surgery Tuesday and have not had anything for pain since Wed.  I have only been walking in the house though may try to get out tomorrow.

The thing is, it is different for everyone. I know that Icould have done it, I didnt even need pain pills after day 2. Was back to work after 1 week.

There really is no way to know ahead of time how you will feel.
 
That is very early out. I have seen a very wide range of recovery comments.

I had the school write up the minutes and send them to me for my daughters last iep as I was out of PTO time after my surgery.

Good luck by the way!!!

I would reschedule your appointment as you just never know. I was in the hospital with complications way longer than most and in a daze mentally for weeks afterward and my pain lasted longer than that.  I would just err on the side of caution!

I would ask to have the meeting postponed or to attend by phone.  My doctor suggested getting liquid sugar free "tylenol" it seems to really help with the pain and I can stay awake.  If you can't find it ask a small pharmacy to order it for you-the big ones don't seem to be able to order something unusual.
