@maverick1791 Merry Christmas! I am hoping to have the experience and recovery you have had! Going into surgery on 12/17 (only 3 days now). Were you in the hospital for just 1 night?

I went into the hospital at 8:30 AM on Wednesday & drove home on 1 PM Thursday. Yes I did drive home 28 hours after entering the hospital. No pain, No pain
killers 😄
The first thing I did when I got home was to make a healthy breakfast.
Hospital food is, well you know 😖
Just a quick note: I wore auto compression socks on both legs to prevent blood clots. They expand & contract every 10 seconds. They did not help me to sleep but it did its job.
If they don’t put them on you, ask why not?
Remember; YOUR BODY; YOUR CHOICE!
Please, as soon as your able to, update us all.
