Heart Hi Melissa!

Hey hon! I was entertaining 9days after my surgery - making fajitias and hosting my niece's b day party! Granted, I am the exception, but it really wasn't that bad! I did take a lot (and I do mean ) a lot of pain meds (4--6 daily), but felt pretty good!

You willl prolly not be allowed to drive or lift anything for 6 weeks - is there ANYONE who can help you during this time? It just isn't worth it to go through the surgery and then mess up and lift anything too heavy!

The BIG thing for me was sleeping! I slept sitting up for months after my surgery - just hurt too much to sleep on my back! And I kept my chest pillow with me @ all times! All times! You will want to remember the pillow! It is HUGE!

JUst remember to take a deep breath and relax! It does get better after the surgery! It really does!

Big hugs!
Erin
