Pain Expectation & water intake & misc rambles, 6/21 surgery

Well, I'm hoping each day is better. I was totally prepared for the incision pain and some gas pain, it's the muscle pain on that side that threw me for a loop. It still hurts like heck, but I'm gritting my teeth through it. Sucks major donkey butt. LOL

I took my dressings off yesterday. Good thing. A few places were already starting to pucker/blister up. I have bad reactions to adhesives. I'm just hoping the steri strips don't give me the same reactions... as far as I can see, the incisions look good, nothing weeping (except that blister where the adhesives were. Seriously LOL)
