Sounds like you've been through it. I also had complications that meant a second hospitalization only one day after I got home the first time. One day at a time. We can do it!!

I am on the other side of surgery. Had some complications that had made it more difficult in the hospital, and in turn a longer discharge but slowly getting better.

They said it was my position probably. It makes it hard to walk.

Did you do anything to improve?
