Well after a slow start because of the inflammation I had, I finally can swallow water and not have so much pain in my chest. I was told I could of stayed another night , but chose to go home, after the full fluids we're going down ok. I think today being the 3 day out has been the first day that I haven't said WTF did I do to myself ! so I'm assuming it gets better !? The pain for my has been brutal, the dr. Said because I had my gallbladder removed as well I would be in a lot more pain , well he wasn't wrong ! I feel like I have been beaten . I haven't been able to get into my own bed and wish I still had the hospital bed, was much easier to get in and out off . But I have been using a gravity lawn chair and has been helping me so much ! I also feel like I can't eat too much , but really trying to get all my vitamins and water intake in, I feel like I get so full ! Anyone else feel like that ?

I'm glad to read you're home and there is some progress. No doubt it will keep getting better and you'll feel great in no time.

So glad you are home - that must be nice! It will get better and you do get that full sensation when you eat or drink. Just take it slow and follow doctor's orders. You will be up and around before you know it

So glad to hear you are home... getting in and out of your bed will get easier. Have you tried like a log roll where you use your elbow to push up and cross your one leg over the other to help get up? I had to use this after a major neck surgery.

All the best to a quick recovery!!
