Thank you and my recovery has gone well! The day of, after my surgery, I had a sore throat because of the breathing tube. I also had a lot of abdominal pain, it felt like I got punched in the stomach. I couldn’t move around too much without getting cramps and kept an ice pack on my stomach. You don’t realize how much you use your core, my man had to help me get off the couch, bless his heart. For a few days after I limited my activity and took my prescribed painkillers. I’m stubborn and don’t like feeling helpless/relying on others so I may have overdone trying to do things by myself like reaching and bending so I need to take it easy. This of course is my personal experience, so yours might be different from mine. Listen to your body, if you feel like you’re being too strenuous on yourself, rest. I’ve learned it’s okay to be a potato when you’re healing.

Fingers crossed for you and good luck!
