A heart-felt thank you to everyone who sent well wishes and prayers my way.

So glad you are home my friend and it's all behind you now. Now, chill out, lay your butt down and get some much needed rest!

Thank goodness they were able to do your surgery via laparoscopy!! You will be pretty sore for a few days...but by this time next week it will be almost back to normal. Get some rest and feel better soon

Glad you are doing well. Its the best surgery that I have ever had!

kjc · 05-17-2012, 06:32 PM

Great news that you're home and it went well. Praying for a speedy recovery....

enchilila · 05-17-2012, 06:56 PM

Wow, am I sore and swollen!! I guess it has to get worse before it gets better. I'm having a very hard time getting up from a sitting and lying position. Just so sore! I'm going to make it, though, and I'm so glad its behind me!! The dh took off 2 days and has been spoiling me.

To get up from a lying position, ROLL ONTO your side first, then drop your legs off the side of the bed while you are pushing your upper body up from the mattress with your arm....that way you dont use those stomach muscles (like trying to do crunches) and your legs will help re distribute your weight and make it easier to get into a sitting position on the side of the bed.

My dh has been pulling me up so I wouldn't have to use the abdominal muscles. It sure did help. He's not here today, so I just tried your suggestion. I found out that if I don't tighten the abdominal muscles, it sure does help. It still hurts, but it helped a lot. Thanks! I also have my mom's walker beside the bed and it helps, too, when I stand, although I'm not using it to walk. I really think I'm doing some better today. Tomorrow should be even better.
