Thank you. I found your words comforting and reassuring, because right now on Day 7 Post-Op I am feeling a lot of discomfort and wondering if I should feel this lousy right now. Maybe I thought I could walk a little faster, have Zero pain/discomfort, be able to sleep in my own bed instead of this recliner and just go back to "life as normal". It ain't happening yet and probably not for a few months. You're right, I need to set my expectations accordingly. I'm sore, and I'm gonna be for quite awhile. So I thank you again for your words, they definitely made me feel better today on Day 7.

Hang in there! Keep a positive attitude. There were times when I felt I couldn't go on...but I persevered and I'm so happy with where I am now!

I'm here to talk anytime you want.
