Rant: I'm currently 4 days post op. I am thankful that my surgery is successful, because the amount of pain I woke up in I can't imagine going through that **ish** again to get something fixed. Thank you Jehovah! I woke up nauseous and vomiting foam and thought I'd end up drowning in my vomit. terrible! Daily it gets better. But if anyone wants honesty on what the incision pain feels like, my honest description is: The stomach virus. It does not feel sore or like a burning sensation. It feels as if I had the stomach virus and all I wanted to do was hunch over, and vomit till it felt better. For almost a whole day I couldn't get why it felt that way, then I lifted up my hospital gown and low and behold...the incision scar. I was stabbed in the same spot where I feel stomach virus pain. Ugh. Miserable, just thinking of it. Although the pain diminished some from that first day waking up afterwards. It is still there and I can not wait till it stops aching. I'm on Percocet, so that helps. At first I was going to deal with it and not use my prescribed pain med, but I don't want to deal with this gnawing gut feeling. Its bothersome and uncomfortable. Ok...end of rant.

The first 24 hours were hell - naucious and tons of pain. The first time I threw up I threw up blood (the doctor warned me that would happen). After that only tiny amounts of blood came up. Starting on day 2 I started feeling better and could walk around more. They forced me out of bed the first day, but I only walked a teeny bit to appease them. Day 3 was even better and that was the day I went home.
