ah home. My creature comforts around me ( not forgetting to mention my husband, love you honey) so for the most part I'm feeling ok. When I get laying down I can't get up again without yelling out in pain (enter husband here to help pull me up) one incision is very angry with me at the moment and is definitly giving me grief.

I've been able to take all my pills and finish one premiere shake. Going shopping today to find the chewable calcium and a hemroid ring to help lessen the pressure on my poor tail bone (so sore!) still little gas being drawn out but I'm like the little engine that could. I'll start tooting eventually!

Have a fantastic day!

Glad you are feeling well!!

We found the chew able calcium (Jaimeson brand) at Shoppers and Walmart

Just an FYI....we asked the surgeon about the one painful incision (upper right) after hubby's surgery. It is because they had to cut through more muscle at that particular site so there is an internal stitch as well! That was hubby's only complaint after surgery was that one incision!

Glad you are home and resting well.

That one bigger incision bothered me too at first. I couldn't lie in my bed for the first two nights.

Hope you get a lot of rest and your recovery goes well.

Glad to hear you're home and resting, the first few days keep up on pain meds, don't do too much and sleep as much as your body demands.

It's great to be home with all the support and comfort isn't it. :)

Hopefully your outing went well and you didn't overdo it! Keep resting and walking when you can. :)
