Can I do this??

Good luck with your surgery. I would say that you will not feel up to it. I am a very strong woman and I felt so sick until about the 4th day. The gas pain is the worst and you feel really weak from only drinking liquids.

I would sell your tickets!

Awwww, I'm so sorry. That would have been a good concert.

But, I know there is no way I could have done it.

I didn't have problems with pain and only took the pain meds that first night, but I sure did feel like crap from the general anesthesia.

I hope Shania comes to your area next year. Just think how much more you will enjoy it when you are feeling up to it and wearing skinny jeans!

I was back at work the day after surgery, never took pain meds and, except for the first day after the surgery, didn't need to lie down and take a nap or rest during the day. Three days after surgery I was back in my warehouse packing boxes (keeping my lifting restrictions) and moving around as I was prior to surgery.

However, I'd draw the line at a concert because (a) you usually have to walk quite a distance from the parking lot to the door and then to your seat, possibly standing for long periods of time while you wait to get in and seated and (:smile2: get bumped in your port once by another person and all the enjoyment of the concert will be gone. Plus, at all of the concerts I've gone too, I've had to stand the entire time just to see since everyone else was on their feet. 2-3 hours of standing two days after surgery would've been a bit much. Just standing is far more tiring than walking around.

So, no, I wouldn't go to a concert that soon.
