I woke up in the recovery room with my pain about a 2-3 out of 10. It has stayed that way since the surgery. I'm a bit more sore now where they did the operation on my left side but it is very well manageable. I had a Dilaudid pain pump as well as a pain ball. I wasn't using the pain pump much so I requested that it come out yesterday and I've been taking Percocet as needed.
