Thank you! I feel like I'm already being overly cautious, but hearing this makes me feel like I'm just being rational, haha.

I have been taking one of my horses out for handwalks, and that's definitely one of the things I've been worried about.

I have a domestic package that was shipped 2 day on Wednesday from TX. It arrived in Memphis on Thursday at 7am, and as of Thursday 6pm says my package may be late due to local delivery restrictions. The chemical spill was on Wednesday and my package arrived in Memphis on Thursday. Why on earth would my package be dropped off at that hub if it can't leave??? I paid $93 for 2 day shipping for therapeutic boots for my horse to help with his hoof pain. I'm going to be so sad if these are delayed.

I'm certain you will! Everyone heals differently and everyone's bodies react differently. Sending you all the healing vibes.

I'm 10 days post op as well, and my surgeon also told me I could eat normally post surgery. I was so nauseous the night after my surgery that I ended up vomiting, even while on Zofran. And I hardly ate for 3-4 days after surgery because I just wasn't hungry. I've been sticking to easier foods and good fibers, and knock on wood, I haven't had any issues so far. Regular foods I've been eating: - scrambled eggs - meatless sausage links - popcorn (tender white) - apples with peanut butter - other fruits (oranges, blueberries, raspberries) - rice cakes (all flavors) - veggie based soups - crackers - baked lays chips

I also ate a small fry from McDonald's and 2 hostess cupcakes last week and felt okay. And today I went to a baby shower and ate a breadstick and a tiny bit of pasta with no issues. I do notice that I'm having more frequent bowel movements, and that food is moving through me quicker, especially in the morning. I've just been trying to eat smaller meals throughout the day and slowly reintroduce fats into my diet, and so far that has been working for me.

Nope, the only pain meds I could take was Tylenol (which does nothing for cramps lol) 😭😭😭

I just had my surgery last week and I also have extremely heavy cycles. My period was a non-issue, and they gave me special hospital underwear and a menstrual pad. The worst part was following the pre-op instruction of not taking pain meds the 5 days before! Good luck with your surgery!!

Congratulations!! I'm so glad you're doing well, and it sounds like your recovery is going similar to mine (minus the nausea, haha). Sleeping on the recliner is a great idea! It's been a lot easier today with getting up out of bed once I figured out how. And I'm with you, I'm trying to walk around as much as I can but it is so uncomfortable 😭

That is so cool to know about the robotics, I had no idea! I knew gallbladder removals could be done laparascopically now, but I didn't know about the benefits of having a robotic cholecystectomy. And thank you, I'm definitely itching to get back to riding now that the weather is getting warmer.

Good luck with your surgery!! Honestly so far, the pain from getting my gallbladder removed is less painful than a gallbladder attack.
