just wanted to chime in here and "brag" about my veteran surgery status. LOL i'm going in for my 7th surgery in the past 3 years this week. i'm only 27. surgery isn't a big deal, trust me. It sucks, yah, but most of the time it helps the problem...plus you get painkillers and time off work! Look at the bright side of that :D Just do it NG!

lol that's definitely one of the plus sides juney :)
Just got back from LIS and still kinda out of it. No pain yet but we'll see. Gonna pop a few painkillers and go take a nap. Definitely feeling a sense of relief, mixed with some curiosity about how the next few days will go :)

Glad all went well, NG. I told Dwight about your surgery this afternoon.

Thanks Cheryl! You're an angel!
BTW Juney what are you going in for this week?

Glad everything went well NG! I hope you will be feeling much better in the near future!

Thanks Mechelle!

Maybe just relax now and breathe a sigh of relief that the surgery is done and let your body heal itself with meditating/prayer/deep breathing. Whatever happens during recovery will probably just be temporary! You did it!!

So far I have kicked off recovery with Vicodin, video games, and the NBA playoffs :) Aside from the somewhat worrisome discharge and some to-be-expected pain, it's not going too bad at all. Hopefully I can still say that after a BM tomorrow :)

Maybe you can switch to Tylenol soon. I think the Vicodin really got my mom constipated after her hysterectomy. That's the last thing you want to happen!! Good luck!

The first few days are worst, so "chen" up during that time.... :)
Just rest, rest, rest...... :D
