I'm 5 days post op. I earned an extra day in the hospital due the painful complication of a series of hiccup attacks. Since I live far from the hospital my surgeon wants me close by for the first week while I recover, so I'm still holed up in a room in Sacramento. I had a little blood clot scare yesterday but a quick ER visit ruled it out. The pain has finally become manageable in just the past couple days. I was a little behind on my fluid intake three days out and I had to put in the extra effort to get to 50 oz. So far fresh pho broth and sugar free popsicles have been my saving grace. I'm looking forward to writing a more detailed account of my experience in the upcoming weeks.
