home from surgery

All I can say right now is OUCH, OUCH, OUCH.  I'm about to take another pain pill and go to sleep but just wanted to let everyone know that I made it through and I'm home.  This swelling sucks!

Rest & just take it easy. Lucky you - to be POST-OP!!

Let us know more when you feel up to it.

Glad to hear you made it home! Take 2 pills at a time until you feel you don't need 2. I tried to just do one but those first few days are the worst so take what you need to and try to stay ahead of the pain!

Wishing you a smooth recovery!

Dr. Iz  has called me like every 3-4 hours since my surgey.  he is such a sweetheart.  Came by last night twice to check on me. 

so, i won't OD if I take 2 pain pills?

He is a sweetheart!  No you won't OD.  I'd space them out about 5 or 6 hours if you can.  Once I was able to take 1, I took it every 4 hours.

How is the incision on your back? 

it doesnt bother me...the groin area is the most difficult thing to deal with.  the wraps and garment on my arms are so tight that my wrist and fingers look like they are gonna explode! Dr Iz just called and i told him about and he said he wants it to stay tight until i go back in for my post op appt on tomorrow morning.  only other prob i'm having is my butt is sore from sitting /laying.  i have to wait for my daughteer to get home from school before trying to grt up again because i;m afraid my mother cant hold me.
