Post-op, sexy socks and wonderful drugs

Feels like I did a million crunches, I found so far if I lay on my side on he sofa with 2 pillows under my chest its very comfy.... I think most of my gas issues are gone or not as bad as a night of my husbands cookie (shhhh, he is a wonderful man and he tries) ...

 

any advice?

try either heat or ice to the surgical site. I found this reduced the pain more than medications!
Also try to "scotch" you incision area before coughing, laughing, sitting up. I found i was also more comfortable with taking a beach towel, folding it longwise, and tucking the ends behind my back when i was driving, or just sitting down. It made for extra support to the area, and I did not have to hold it in place.
