Sometimes it seems hard to believe when people say it gets better every day but it does. I'm almost three weeks out and just this week I'm starting to feel really good. Keep walking and sipping. Welcome to the losers bench.

Zinneerah - hang in there babe - it will get better.

Keep taking the pain meds as prescribed, drink as much as you can and walk regularly. Walking alone will help loosen you up.

Welcome home!! And welcome to the loser's bench! It is exciting to see so many people going through the surgery around the same time as me- it will be great to have someone to travel the road with. It is so fantastic to have that road paved for us already with some of the hard questions by those who have had the surgery before us, and now it is our turn to face the same speedbumps, potholes, and learning curves!! Here's to your speedy recovery and hoping you feel better soon :)

I'm glad to hear that there were no complications. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you! Is it any easier since you've been back home in comfortable surroundings?
