I was walking next day in the halls. Yes in pain but not enough to keep me down. I walk around even here in the house. Sit to do a few dishes. Sit when tired. Lay completely down when exhausted. Went for ice cream earlier with the hubby. Even on discharge we took a nice country ride. Of course the every 6-8hr 1000mg Tylenol, muscle relaxant, and lidocaine patch helps. I filled but didn't use the oxycodone --it actually was no help to me. 😆 All this to say follow post op instructions and take it easy.
