Jill,
I’m lying in my hospital bed after having my surgery yesterday.
The surgery, from my estimation, probably took four to five hours. Since I was put to sleep, I don’t remember anything except taking deep breath from a mask before they started. For me, the night was miserable. I don’t blame anyone for it, but I was required to stay in bed flat on my back. Pain was not severe but I felt dull pressure-like pain. I had a narcotic pump to help relieve the pain, but the positioning combined with the pressure made my night very long.
I don’t get to change that position today except they want me to stand a few minutes, but only once today.
I guess I’m telling you this because for those who haven’t had the bottom surgery yet, it’s not a walk in the park.
I’m staying positive. I know I will get better soon.🙂
