The area where is the biggest incision is the one that hurts the most..i have had two pain meds so far today . About to have another..Gas med and got a shot in my belly to prevent blod clots. My husband had to leave to be home w. Our children. So now I'm just laying here drifting in and,out of sleep. Waiting for greys anatomy and scandal to come back on tonight. They had brought me two trays of food today. Both trays had a bowl of chicken broth, dcaf tea Water flavored crystal light .. I wonder if they r gonna bring me the same thing in the morning.I have walked 3x. Urinated a lot prob from iv drip.. have had 1 1/2 bottles of water so far.. just wanted to update on my first day. 5 KryCar, mylighthouse, Creekimp13 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep up the good work and keep updating us ! Thank you !! So much better now. I walked, took a leak, & got moved into a huge room. If things only improve the next few days then this was a breeze. 1 Apple203 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
