HI!  I am still in the hospital, doing GREAT!  Surgery was uneventful ... thank God :)  I have minimal pain ... my c-sections were 100% more painful.  I am sipping and walking and bored lol.  I made hubby bring me the laptop so I had something to do.  I got off my morphine 3 hours ago, and have only used it minimally .... I feel great.  Thanks to all the info you guys have given me about post op!  Well, off to sip and walk again ... Good luck to the rest of you guys who still have surgery coming up .... and thanks again for all the information throughout the year!

Great to hear your doing well !!!!

I can totally understand the "bored" part of it.  OMG I wanted out of that hospital so bad..... lol.... I think the fact of just being there and not knowing exactly when they were going to let me go was making me more miserable then the after effects from the surgery.... LOL.  The nurses were laughing at me because I was constantly crusin' the halls with my little IV bag in tow. I think I put on enough miles in those halls that I could have walked home.... LMAO.  But the more you walk the more it helps.  

Keep in touch and let us all know when your home and how your progressing. 

Take care,
Kim

You both sound just like me.  I got so bored and the more I walked, the less I hurt.  I was even getting up at two and three a.m. to walk.  The nurses were making fun of me.  LOL

Sitting was much more painful.  I guess i got stiff!  I too had my laptop and tried to stay busy!

Good luck and good to see you are doing so well!
