Surgery Recovery Sucks!

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

sorry to hear you had so much pain. I had none at all so it's so different for everybody. If you can walk around a lot, that should get rid of the shoulder pain. People get shoulder pain from the gas they use during surgery.

I just had surgery on Monday and had none of those symptoms you are having the hospital was very attentive in giving pain medication and it working well. Where did you go for your surgery?

I had my surgery in Vegas. They were very attentive as well. I think it was just me - I don't do well with pain. And, my body wanted to let me know that I had done something MAJOR! :sad0:

I liken this whole experience to pregnancy and child birth. Everyone's experience is a little different. Some people have very little pain and nausea, others have a bunch of either or both. Like child birth, I think once it is over and we are so happy with the results, we tend to forget the hard parts and focus on the wonderful. Just my two cents.

Thank you so much for posting this. I too liken it to childbirth and I had natural childbirth and NO pain whatsoever. I told that to a friend who wound up being in labor for 2 days and eventually had a cesarean...I vowed to never share MY experience again.

THANKS AGAIN. I'm getting more anxious to find out how I will feel and GEESH just can't wait to get it over with already.

Thanks, I am doing MUCH better. Even went to a movie last night with my husband and friends. (Extraordinary Measures - VERY GOOD)

Today I am feeling a little weak and shaky. Not sure why. Felt great yesterday, but maybe I overdid it. Taking it slow and easy today.

I feel much better too! Every day gets easier. I ventured to the grocery store today and that took it all out of me. Time for a nap! Nice to know I still have several days off work to rest up.
