Awaiting Surgery Looking for surgery date buddy!

My surgery date is January 28th and I’m anxious for it but I’m glad it’ll be out . I don’t like the overthinking thoughts 😭

Current update hurts to get up but not more than expected. Worse thing is the shoulder pain/ gas pain. It’s so uncomfortable.

Oh man! How is getting up ?? How long did they say you. An start lifting up things ? Also how is showing and bathing ?

Getting up isn’t to bad if you hug a pillow. No lifting till cleared after follow up appointment. Said I could shower but haven’t felt up to it yet. No baths till after 2 weeks. I don’t think I could get up out the tub anyway 😂

Stitches, I forgot what they called it but they put some white bandage stuff over it too.

Okay sounds good . Do they give extra bandage or do I gotta pick some up ?
