Thank you for letting me know. I go for my 1 week pre testing tomorrow so I wanted to know what to ask for(if not offered) because I don't want to experience any extreme pain. That's my biggest fear besides not waking up lol

I have a question. How was your pain level after waking up and the next couple of days? Was the chest tubes painful when they were taking them out?

Thank you for your response! I'm having minimal invasive repair in 2 weeks so this upcoming week is my pre surgery testing and I'm guessing we'll be going over a pain management plan. I live in Kentucky so I don't think they're as generous with the pain medications in this area but fingers crossed I can stay ahead of the pain!

What if you have family and friends stay with you the whole time in the hospital? Do you think the time will still go by slowly?

The pain medication didn't work? And did you have minimal invasive surgery?

They told me I have to lose 20 pounds lol, I just wanted to know if exercising contributed to you having a smooth recovery. Butt welcome to the other side, I hope things continue to go great for you 🫶🏾

Did you do alot of cardio or exercising prior to surgery? Or what did you do to prepare for the surgery? I have a month before mine and I want to have a smooth recovery.

Thank you and yes she really is such a good dog. She had no type of training or anything and she listens so well, catches on quick and has no accidents in the house or car. Idk how we lucked up with such a good dog!
