Surgery on Wednesday, some discomfort on Thursday, feeling better on Friday. But, you may not be able to drive, so I would tell your friends you had other plans or perhaps fein a headache. Give yourself some time to rest and heal - don't add any additional pressure. You will have plenty of time to party with your friends. But with that said, you may be up to it. See how you feel. Good luck with your surgery.

I agree with Bklynike . . . maybe at best. I sure wasn't, but some sound like they bounce back a little quicker .. I'm an old gal (sort of). And I was still taking pain medicine (for 5 days), so I could not drive. Best wishes for a great surgery and the start of your life long journey. Keep us posted.

i doubt very seriously you'll be feeling up to anything more than a stroll to the couch 48 hours after surgery....plus you'll still be on pain meds, which made me SLEEP!

and you dont want to dance your incisions back open....

give yourself time to heal...you will really have a lot of explaining to do if you get out there and have "complications" ....

best of luck! it will all be worth it in the end!!

I had my surgery on a Wednesday and went to my daughter's first dance recital the next day. My hubby took me and I did fine. No real discomfort. I only took meds the 1st day and then at night only the next two. My doc wouldn't let me drive regardless for 5 days. It's a crap shoot at best. There are some who had loads of discomfort for a long time and then there are those that have no real issues at all. If you aren't telling anyone then the hard part would be to explain why you aren't eating or drinking. I would suggest not going since it is a real outing with drinking, eating and dancing. That is a lot. My recital only required sitting there. You do need tofocus on you and your recovery and that might over stretch yourself.

Thank you all for the advice. I think you are all right, I think it would be too much. I think I'll have my husband still go and bring one of my friends who was going to ride in with us. No reason for them not to still have a fun night out, I'll just fake a headache at the last minute.

can u please tell me what else u can eat might help me thanks connie
