I've been missing all this, I just assumed the posts were updates on the ball player, so I haven't taken time to follow the thread..
I think most post ops have mentioned the worst can last about 2 weeks generally. give or take...but every case is different.
They didn't send home any papers during release from the hospital about activities?
You might start a new thread asking the other post op members about recovery and such.
They might be skipping over this thread as I was.. thinking it was only about the ball player.
