things i have learned that might be useful to other newbie bandsters....
1. wear a button-down shirt (it's easier to get on and off after surgery)
2. i bought small plastic bathroom cups to make Jello in - perfect portion size
3. have your doc use theON-Q pain buster ball,it is amazing, i have not gone above a 3 in pain (out of 10). if he doesn't know what it is, have him google on-q pain buster.....
4. get all the help you can, so that you can rest and recover, no need to rush into going back to work, unless you absolutely have to.
5. stay in touch on line here, the support is wonderful.
well, back to sipping warm tea, and a jello for me. all is well here, take care friends. nicci
