The road to recovery is really rough. It's been 8 days and im still in a lot of pain. Swelling is going down slowly but the pain is real. There is no comfortable position to sleep in.

The first 2 to 3 weeks are the worst. I promise that it will get easier once you get a bit further into the recovery. Sleeping is the worst! All you can do is prop several pillows, change positions and hang in there. Movement does help and will keep you from getting still. I found that if I laid in the bed too much it was worse. Are you keeping on top of the pain medications?
December 28, 2016
Yes im keeping on top of my meds. Yes laying in bed is the worst. I have developed blisters on both hips.....gross. the swollen is taking forever to come down. I can say that today is the first day that I am walking straight up so thats a good sign. Im not in as much pain today either but the soreness is awful.

Hi are you doing? Don't forget to walk around to keep your blood flowing.

Thanks! Ive been walking but I dont see light at the end of the tunnel. Still really swollen, blisters keeps coming and I weigh more now then i did before i had the surgery. Im becoming discouraged.

Hold on girl, you are so fresh into recovery. This is a long process but it will be worth it. Take it one day/one hour at a time.

Ok, ill take your word for it. Im still having shortness of breath. Should i be concerned?

If you are having shortness of breath inform Dr. Shifrin and make sure you are doing your breathing exercise. Do it at least 10 times every hour.
