Hey Sue,
I think I'm in the same boat as you!  I force myself to get out once a day to walk and do an errand and I am done by the end of it.  I think I have about an hour and a half a day and then I need to get back to relaxing.  Slowly but surely I find my stamina increasing, so I hope I'll be better than normal in no time!

Thanks for all the well wishes, I know it will get better, and it has ;but there are times in the first few days i had regretted it. But I am already down 12 pounds and I feel better today then yesterday. Hopefully in a few days I wont feel bad at all.

Hi Barbara.... glad you did well with your surgery and are home.  It feels so good to be home, doesn't it?  The pain will subside... just take your meds as often as you can... thats what its there for!  And don't do too much... I made that mistake and paid for it!!  Hope you are on your way to a speedy recovery.... welcome to the loser's bench!!!!! 
Take Care,
Debbi
