Well, I have to say that it sucked. I ended up staying in the hospital for four nights because even a sip of water caused a lot of pain.
Even though it wasn't fun (I knew it wouldn't be) it's an investment in my future that I needed to make.
Be patient with your body, things seem to improve every day for me, and even though I started off slow, I think I'm healing up pretty fast now.
People always ask what to bring and we didn't bring a lot, but the only thing I used was chapstick. I never touched my laptop and my wife handled my phone with texting people.
The most important thing to bring is a support person who will be understanding. My wife was so patient with me and I'm very grateful that she was able to be there for me.
I wish everyone on this journey the best of luck. I think it's a great surgery and even though it's been rough I would do it again.
