Yes no issues at home. I walk 3 times 1 mile each outing, I just take it slow and easy.,my stomach hurts/aches but it’s not bad. Today I drove myself to grocery store but had the bagger load my groceries. Trying not to over do it but I am a 52 yr old make that’s active in life. So far life is good but I’m not fond of giving myself a shot in the belly for the next 9 days. I have oxi for pain but I won’t need them unless I sneeze then I’ll probably cry

Hello @james8117

I was 53 when I had my first invasive surgery. This is what I did to keep from hurting when I had an expected sneeze or cough.

--I kept a small throw pillow nearby (put it in the car, take it with me when I left the house) and if I felt a cough or sneeze coming on, then I grabbed the pillow and held it to the incision area. For me, it kept the pain at bay (to some extent).

This, of course, was only good if the cough or sneeze was expected.
