Good luck and don't worry. Everything will come out a lot better than you think. Also, you will feel a lot worst than you think. Get up as soon as you can. The most relevant tips I got came from Don. "Walk, walk, sip, sip and never ever trust a fart!" These will all be very important the first week post op.

I'm sore in weird places like my left wrist and arm is sore for some reason and my wife which is an R.N said " don't you know that they had you up and doing the hula dance while you were under anesthesia" I told her they must have done something like that to me.cuz it's hurts weird ...
