Re: First day after Op 20th Oct 2009 | |
How are you feeling today, DaniRae? I found the third day was the worst, as that was when the anaesthetic had completely worn off but I was still really sore from the op. Every day after that, it got better but the port pain hangs around for quite a while, but very localised. Walk as soon as you can stand and as much as you can, especially after meals (even liquid meals!) It really helps with the gas pains and will gradually build up your tolerance for walking. Just do laps around your loungeroom or walk to the letterbox and back, if that's all you can manage at the beginning - every little bit helps! |
