Merry Christmas Everyone!
48 Hours in - Had my first movement today. It was not as smooth as one would have liked. I have to admit that I kind of forced it since I was getting stomach pains from constipation. Anyway, it went well but then I started to get some pain about 20 minutes later. It wasn't the spasm pain but felt more like pain from the incision site. A couple of advil and percocets along with a soak helped the pain a lot.
Other than that, I have just been staying in bed and having a healthy diet of water, miralax, high fiber foods, stool softners and pain killers. I am feeling quite good about this, though I have to admit I did get a little worried when I had the pain this morning.
