Thanks, Fmiyakaw, for the positive report!
I know you can reassure many patients with your accurate and detailed descriptions, (although some may feel they are too detailed!)
I have encouraged patients to closely monitor their diet prior to surgery, as the medications are known to cause severe constipation.
I expect you will have recurring pain in some areas, as a result of tissue or nerve damage. It will heal. Always give your body the best of everything: nutrition, exercise, rest, water, etc. Avoid stress, tobacco, over-work, excess alcohol consumption.
Prior to my surgery I walked, but only with the aid of two canes or walking (trekking) poles. Post surgery, I continued with the poles, and finally was able to walk again unaided. That seems so long ago, and like yesterday.
Welcome to the club! And, thanks again for sharing.
