Duane, you posted on my journal and I'm noticing you "quietly" had surgery just a few days after me. I am thinking and praying for you and hoping recovery is going well.
Or maybe a quite a few days before. It was 7 years ago for me. My roughest recovery was approx postop hours 6-36 extreme nausea and 5 1/2 to 7 weeks extreme pain in rib cage. Hopefully you got all the bad recovery experience earlier on and nothing but good... Read more.
Haha, now I see it 2011 just didn't stand out. Thanks! Yes, extreme nausea here too for first 3 days home and no appetite. Good to know now that maybe I can expect some pain down the road yet.
