melyssafaye 181 Posted April 30, 2016 The first couple days are the worst. But it will get better so fast that you'll forget how bad it sucked. I'm only 4 weeks out, so I remember. Why are you trying not to take the pain meds? I was shameless about it for the first week. The hydrocodone made me loopy, but I didn't have anywhere to go and it made me a lot more comfortable. There's no trophy for being strong. But I know everyone has different views on narcotics. Keep your chin up!! It gets so much better in a day or two!!

Dave O'Connor 2 Posted May 1, 2016 Today was my first full day home as well. I've been in serious pain for most of the day. I've pressed on and walked about 1700 steps, not much but something. I feel pretty good right now but I am on the pain killers so that has something to do with it. I haven't been hungry, but have been eating on schedule when I'm not asleep. Keep up the good work everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
