The novocaine (or whatever they use) has worn off, and I'm definitely feeling some pain and have taken 2 hydrocodone so far. Am hoping for a fast recovery...my other big concern (no surprise) is incontinence. I had an embarrassing accident shortly after getting home, while I was still numb - doctor's office attributed that to the mostly-liquid diet I'd had yesterday. Turns out I was given incorrect advice!

I would love to hear success stories, words of encouragement and reassurance. AF is a beast, and I'd like to see it in my rear-view mirror (pun intended).
