They gave me liquid lortabs (to go home with). Made me loopy, so I didn't want to take them. I am like you, I read and it sounded like the surgery pain was a breeze (not really, but most people seemed to have minimal pain). But I was miserable, I cried sometimes from it. I was frustrated because it hurt too much to move, and laying down hurt just as much. And so then when I got home, I didn't take pain meds and ended up straining a muscle, ended up at the ER because I thought it was a blood clot!! (In my chest). So they told me to go home and rest, and it took a total of 8 days for me to recover. I hurt myself more on day 4, so I should have been back to work had I followed doctors orders.
