Took a pain pill earlier, and I have been up walking around the house to try and loosen up the abs. Definitely going to have some scares. The incisions are large for laparoscopic. And I’ve got to wear a very uncomfortable jock strap for he next day or two. But I’m still planning on returning to work on Thursday, pain permitting. But I also have to follow up with the doc in a week.
As for the ‘went mostly well’ part. Had a slight hiccup where they’re concerned about my hearth rhythm. Forgot what they called it, but basically told me I need to see my primary about getting an EKG. And then I think they also tried ripping the catheter out before deflating it completely - I’m pretty tender when using the tool on #1.
That said, thank you all for the well wishes! I’m glad I get to continue forcing you all to question my sanity!
