Thank you so much for updating us on how Regina's surgery went.

The pain is normal. She just went through major surgery. Just tell her that it does get better, but in the meantime she shouldn't be afraid to take the pain meds. The best thing she can do for herself in regards to her pain is to stay on top of it. She shouldn't allow herself to get too uncomfortable before she takes something.

Let her know we are thinking about her.

Thanks for the update. Yep, I agree, tell her to stay on top of the pain and take the pain meds....Even with the pain meds I was still in pain, but without it...Yikes! It's all temporary and she'll be feeling wonderful soon!
