Currently in my room recovering. Pain is getting better due to walking. Unable to walk to much because I have no energy. Only able to take s few sips at a time dispute my extreme dry mouth. Can't wait until this 1st day is over. Praying for a better day two ????

Surgery day was my worst day so far. It gets better

Congrats on being with it enough to post on the first day! Accept pain meds, no need to be a hero--they will make the first night much better!

I concur with @@bengaldude, the first day is the worst... it gets better rapidly. The morning after surgery, I was still iffy on going home that day, but by late afternoon, I was rarin' to go!

Hay it gets better! Follow your doctor's instructions and know that you're headed in the right direction! If I allow take your pain pills!

yea the nurse tried to tell me stop taking pain meds. Like for what if I in pain I need them. So far I feel pretty ok tho. Biggest thing right now is that I can't pee even tho I have that feeling.

Well, that nurse sucks. Mine kept checking to see if I needed pain meds and nausea meds.

I was up and down a lot the first night peeing... it'll happen, and then you'll wish it would stop! I only had a few ice chips, but they pumped a lot of Fluid in me. Then the day after surgery, one of the nurses asked me how many times I'd urinated that morning... but instead of asking like I was an adult human, she actually said, "How many pee-pees have you made this morning?" My mom and I had to avoid eye contact with one another, and we lost it once she left the room.

Work on going pee... you don't want to get a catheter. I was all worried about that and thought they automatically gave one and glad they only do it if you can't go. I went as soon as i got to my room

Hang in. Walk. Gets better sooner than you can see on day one. You will do fine. Prayers for your comfort.

yea she did. My new nurse asks me every 4 hours if I need pain meds. I like nurses that do their job and not give their opinions.
