I had surgery last Wednesday and went home on Thursday, my husband is a truck driver, so he left on the road on Friday. I have a son, but he didn't get home till Sunday and I have been good. Nice to have people check in on you though.
I had my surgery a week ago also and I have severe shoulder pain. Feels like someone keeps punching me. I also had a hietal hernia reparied. They keep telling me it is from the gas and I too, walk and use heating pad. I was thinking of going for a massage as my muscles in my shoulder feel so tense from the pain. Hope you get better. We are on the same journey.
