Lisa, way to go, I knew you would get through surgery fine in Dr. Leitman's hands :) Just be sure to walk, walk, walk in the hospital even though I know you are sore. It was about 3 weeks when I realized that I was able to sit up, lay down, bend over, etc.. again without any discomfort at all, as if I had never had surgery as far as physical abilities went aside from lifting which is a no-no. Be kind to yourself, relax and do what the Dr. tells you and all will be fine, really! Best of wishes and happy thoughts to you :-)
