UPDATE:

I'm on day 4 post surgery and I'm feeling okay. The first night and the second day we're horrible. I woke up in the night with horrible pain that was so bad that I couldn't fully inhale. Chandler had to lift me up from bed and help me to/from the bathroom. I took a pain med, but all it did was make me tired. I could still feel pain as the night went on.
Luckily, I'm WAY better. It was a complete 180 after that. I'm walking up and down my neighborhood, I am going to the restroom alone, and I'm now sitting in my living room instead of being stuck in bed. No more pain meds needed either.

The only real negative I'm feeling is soreness. My back, legs and neck ache really bad, but from what I read it's the anesthesia. Something about laying on the table and your muscles? I don't know, but I read up that it's normal. Almost all the other effects of the surgery are gone now. This was my first surgery in my life and so all this was a whole new experience for me. I wish the doctors were most transparent about the pain levels for the first few days. No one told me about the other effects from surgery as well. Like how they'd use a catheter and it'll take me 48 hours to "go" normally again. Or how my muscles will ache days later from the anesthesia. Literally no one told me these smaller details. I had to research them for myself to ensure they're normal. 🙄

Anyways, I'm glad the worst is over and I'm healing quite well now! Thank you guys for checking in on me and being patient. I tried to be online the last few days, but the way I was feeling made that very hard. I'll be online a LOT for the next week or two. Feel free to chat with me!
