You are going to be such a loser. lol.

Hey SS, that's what I'm afraid of! Didn't quite know how to express it! Hope someone can help! My surgery is in 11 days, and I respond to surgery pretty well, except, as you are experiencing, I tend to be really sleepy for the first 3-5 days after! Are you taking pain pills? I'm sure that is adding to your sleepiness, the only thing I can think to do is either set a timer/ alarm clock for 30 mins. or to try to get some exercise in the form of walking around your house often and not be too sedentary...besides...gotta watch out for those blood clots! Best wishes to you and may you continue down that road of wellness... Colleen
