Any recommendations on quick healing go tos? What have you used that has been helpful?

Honestly its hard to point out. I've been wanting this done for over 5 years and I was always so afraid of the pain. The last 6 months I've religiously did research on here and read and read so many different stories, good and bad. I have to say your ps makes the biggest difference though !!! Mind was hands on, very much involved from day 1. You've might of read different forums with list of things to buy before a TT, i am guilty of reading them too. But in all honesty the only things I purchased where ginger-ale, and allergy medicine (to help with the coughing and scratchy throat). I didn't rent a walker, bed nor shower chair. I took a piece of my sofa and put two big pillows and the head so I was at a sit up position. My mom did come help me at the house for 5 days, which was a big help. Good luck !

That's great info! I'm addicted to reading stories to get as much info as possible. Did you use anything for a sore back while being hunched? I've heard of the arnica gel being used.

Thanks!! Yes, the dr actually prescribed arnica (pill) I started taking it a day before surgery and continued to take it until the bottle was gone. Its tiny little pills, you take 5 every 6 hours. I didn't do the gel.

OMG, you would have to be happy with that!!! And back at work, what a miracle worker. I am just 14days PO and don't know how I am healing as everything is still covered in waterproof tapes. Glad that you are feeling so well (as am I). I keep waiting for a set back, but nothing has happened so far and am impatient to get going, but easy does it. Good luck to you, your photos are amazing.
