Only 3 more days ;) I'm so ready for the new "funsize" that is my nickname lol little about me since I forgot to put in my first post. I'm 39 years young I'm 5' 3" and weigh 148 lbs. I have been married for 16 years (on 11-11-11 be 16 years) to the man of my dreams that I love with every breath that I take.

Well, got everything that I need for surgery thanks to this site there are several things that you all mentioned that I put on my list. We are just going to go out and about today. Take daughter to get her a pair of jeans and try not to worry about surgery (yea right that is not going to happen)

Well I will post later on today how I'm doing/feeling ;) have a GREAT day my tt friends!

Good luck! I had the same thoughts you did about the pain and being out from work. I took 6 full days off from work and then working from home for 2 weeks. I have one more day off and I'll tell you it has been nice to be able to rest and take it easy. My poor hubby is drained from taking care of me, our 2 boys and the house. He's been awesome.

As far as pain goes, it wasn't as bad as I had prepared myself for and now I'm on Tylenol. I did get pretty nauseous from the anesthesia but that subsided within a day or two. I'm 6 days PO and what bothers me the most is my back and walking hunched over. I've been reading and been told it gets tons better once you straighten out. I totally believe it because I feel like I could do a lot more if I wasn't hunched over. Within 5 minutes of standing my back is killing me. Not to scare you but be prepared for that part of the recovery.

Looking forward to your updates and I think you are going to have fantastic results!

Thinking about you, Sunshine - wish I were going on the 1st - You'll be done & I'll be trying to stay calm for the next day,lol.I know you will do great! What part of NC are you in - I live on the NC/SC state line outside of Charlotte; well, actually, my backyard is IN Charlotte following annexation a few years back. I'm crossing over the line for surgery in Gastonia. Good luck, again
