Nice. I feel much better today (48hr post op) than I did yesterday, I suspect I healed a lot during sleep last night. I've been taking the narcs but don't think I need them today. I still think I'm going to work from home for the next few days just in case I wind up in pain and need to take a pain med.

I notice that there is one area near where they cut right by my solar plexus which appears to be very swollen. How long did it take for your swelling to go down? It makes it a bit tough to take a deep breath and I constantly feel out of breath if that makes sense.
