I wish you a calm peaceful night.
I was so ready for surgery and had no idea of what to expect, the forum and peeps here with ALL their knowledge.
Make sure you have family and friends around for a couple of weeks to do EVERYTHING for you.
DO NOT be afraid to ask and take pain medication.
Get up and move so your circulation flows after a couple of days.
Rest, use ice for pain and swelling,
DO NOT lift anything more than 5-10 lbs for 6 weeks or more.
A gallon of milk weighs 10lbs, no pulling clothes out of the washer into the dryer, no picking up kids or animals.
Have people drive for you.
And do EVERYTHING in slow motion, no quickness as if someone had dropped something and you automatically reach for it.Us epillows for comfort.
The tempurpedic pillow at Bed Bath & Beyond has bee a blessing
Lay flat when sleeping and DO NOT watch TV in bed... neck strain.
Enough?
I can account for more dos and don't but its all common sense.
