Hi Again Everyone.
Thanks for all your posts. 
It's Saturday and I am finally feeling a bit of energy. Also, I am not having to rely on the oxycodone anymore. Tylenol is enough. I'm SO glad about that! I haven't had any big issues. The worst was not being able to go #2. But, adding Benefiber to some of my applesauce and shakes, as well as 2 doses of Milk of Magnesia and I can now do that. So, my belly is feeling much happier. I have slept A LOT. Seemed like I would be awake for 20 minutes then dose off for an hour. Hope that is all behind me. I found that I can pick things up off of the floor IF I stand with my feet way apart, squat and then reach for whatever it is. LOL A funny site, I'm sure, but at least I don't constantly need someone else to get things I drop. And let me tell ya, I haven't been very coordinated. LOL
Anyhow, I just wanted to let you all know that I am doing better. Things are progressing well. I did experience a bit more pain/discomfort than I thought I would, but still nothing too unbearable.
To those of you with upcoming surgeries, I wish you well. Hope yours goes as smooth as mine. 
Take care everyone.
