So here I am 2 weeks post surgery. I spent 9 days in the hospital. The first 3 were horrible. But after that every day was less painful and better sleep. I ate small amounts of broth for a few days and then began to eat some solid food. Having a BM took 5 days…..and a suppository. Now I am having daily BM and just using senecot as a softener. After getting out of the hospital and coming home my sleep is 100X better! I sleep most of the night and a lot during the day. I walk a little….and can get up and down my stairs. I feel pretty good and have an appetite. I am very tired after just a small bit of walking. Still have a drain….about 70 ML/day outflow. Will see my surgeon in a few days for the first after discharge visit.
