Hi Devin! Have a gentle ride home today, everyday will get easier. You will feel like an 80 year old for a few weeks, taking baby steps and very weak. Just relax and do take it easy. It wasn't until 6 months that I really started to feel like I had my energy back. I hope you're feeling better today!
Some advice, make sure your digestive system is in good working order, mine got jacked up from the norco! I am thinking of you!
i'm so impresed that you are actually on the computer and posting!!! way to go, girlfriend!!!! i hope the pain will soon ease and the quick healing will continue!

HI Devin.....Sorry u r still in so much pain...
I wonder were u ever told u havd a hiatal hernia?.....the hiccups could be from that if u do.
...or it is med related.
Oh that first shower was great....in fact, I took baths....didn't like the water hitting me in the head right away...and I am short.....and my balance was still off.
BTW.....I was told to use baby shampoo...did they tell u to use a certain kind ot avoid scented shampoos?
Hope u feel better soon : )

Hey Devin !!! Wow so good to hear u r doing better....sorry u were having some problems...hope they r all behind u now!!
Just remember to go slowly....there is a strange feeling of being perfect just after surgery.....and u can do more harm responding by doing too much.
Keep us posted when u can

Hi Devin,
Sorry to hear you had so much pain after your surgery and I am glad that it has eased some what for you…I hope the fever clears up quickly as well. Try not to over do things as this is heavy surgery you just had and your body needs time and loads of rest to recover.
I hope you are home and back to full health soon
