what a difference a day makes
I am 4 days post op and all I can say is wow. What a difference a day makes in recovery. I have had several surgeries in my life and this one by far is so different than all the others. I had a really crappy 3 days and then I woke up today and (get ready tmi) I farted. I was sooo happy that I cheered. My pain is really going away now and my energy level is better. I should also say that I took a se##kot this afternoon, chewed it, yuck, but it wasn't horrible. I am hoping for a BM tomorrow. Things are really looking up! The only thing bugging me is the drain. I am hoping the surgeon will take it out on wednesday. Hang in there newbies...It's amazing what a difference a day makes!!!
