OMF@#$%^&*G!
Yeah it hurts like a bugger. Here is what I did and it seemed to help me. Stand like a short stop you know kind of squat hold a pillow to your waist firm and bend a little at the hips it takes a lot of pressure off your incisions that way. I missed doing that one day and saw more stars than you can see in the miliy way yikes. Hang in there and try my little method if you want it helped me tons.
Oh yeah...that's a KILLER! WOW!!!!! Do like Kathy said and hug a pillow, if you have any warning! It'll get better. You're sewn up/glued up pretty good, so it should all be fine. It's just the muscles they have to cut through contract violently every time your sneeze or cough..that's why it hurts so bad! It'll get better! Hang in there! Ruth
