His and Her Health

My surgery was on January 21st. The first day was the worst. The second and third day were both pretty uncomfortable, but not as horrible as I had anticipated. The worst has been waking up in the morning. I was able to tolerate riding in the car on the fourth day (although I don't wish to do it again for a bit). Today is day 5. I am quite itchy. And still uncomfortable. I think some of the swelling has gone down. I think I have about 10 stitches.

I am not in a ton of pain. I am quite uncomfortable though. I don't know how to describe it. The ice seems to help. I am out of pain meds right now.

I am a fairly active person and the bed rest is really getting to me. I'm lucky to have a supportive boyfriend, friends and family.

ms.cindy, continued success on your recovery. Thanks for sharing your surgery with our posters. It is valuable information for all. Do continue to rest and follow dr.'s orders.
