Re: So nervous - any recovery tips?
I was very very scared too. But really, the worst of it is when you are out, under anesthesia.
I had prepped and froze a lot of soup to eat afterwards. I think the key is to rest rest rest, and eat very healthy. Btw, I found that quinoa, which I normally ate, made me constipated!
I walked around my house, slowly, for 5-10 min a day. I started walking the day after my surgery. You get oxygen in your lungs, it's good for you.
Just don't lift anything heavier than a gallon of water, or push/pull heavy things, even when you feel like you could.
I'm 7 weeks out, and it gets better week by week and day by day.

Well, My pre-op is today so I'll try to ask lots of questions. It also means, I'm so much closer to the surgery. Yikes.
