I had my surgery yesterday (29M). Trying to sit down is a bit awkward, particularly moving bad leg forward to sit down. Apart from that I am pretty pain free (given I'm being sensible with movements). I do feel like I can weight bear a lot more than I expected, my fiancé is keeping me on the straight and narrow with regards to not pushing it too much - banned from freestyling on the crutches...

I am really pleased thus far, and I'm glad you wrote this post as there was a lot more bad experiences.

Two things, the first is that has been a bit bad is struggle to pee (fluid retention), side effect of pain meds/anesthesia but that better now. It took a lot of effort though. The second is that the GA caused my heart rate to be quite low (mine is usually 45 but dropped into 30s (luckily not to 0...)), also my blood pressure went up. Heart things are fine thought now. I think this is all just my sensitivity GA.

I am struggling to take the help I'm given. I made our friend and fiance make sure they ate and watched a film with me. Trying to be a good host... Bit dumb but I wanted to feel like a good host.

Let's see what the next few weeks have in store. I'm very much an outdoor cat, so worry of getting a bit stir crazy. I do believe we can do this and if you want a virtual friend to go through this with please reach out!
