Just à fair warning.
I learned that after surgery the next two days (at my hospital) they attached a cord from my back to a machine, that sorta helped with the pain as it automatically gives u pain killers.
as for me, we also took oxynorm (morphine) the first week which lead me to believe I had recovered much quicker the. I had. And even the forth day I ws up, getting dressed, and going down with elevator to take small walk, goto a shop, or walk outside to get a blood test at a nearby clinic. 1 week after surgery I was home again.
As I been home less the a week I got a small scar "down there" , i panicked and we went back to hospital again. Turns out I some stitch at the lower part had gone up? Idk, it hard to describe. I led to me having one traumatic morning where I woke up n had blood flowing from down there. I put a towel and paper against it, and it stopped after 20 sec. . After I learned that it just cause the wound there was healing, and when I moved it opened up a little.
I also stopped with pain killers almost completely after 4-5 night at home. But I had to take oxynorm the first two days to get some sleep, which felt horrible. I probably won't had if I Didn't walk around like Wolverine as I was hospitalized . . The drugs made me irrational and naive to what I could do, and shouldn't done at this state. , I'm kinda pissed no nurses warn me about moving around to much.
Now, a month after surgery just about .. I'm ok

" . I been out ONCE (.winter,what todo?) for a small walk. It's taken me just up to now to sit in computer chair for more then 20min... I walk in ok speed, but I was out shopping with dad yesterday and.. I had to take a break in a chair in the mall, leaning down so I almost lay on my back.
Still, numb and horny.. But what you do
so, yeah, take it easy the first weeks.. Especially when u feel like a super heroine the first week due to drugs in your body.
