Well, I've pooped

First, props to the monterrey jack cheese pasta I had a few bites of last night.

Second, I've reached an important point in recovery. I've pooped. Apparently pain killers make you constipated so everyone was concerned about my pooping frequency. As of this morning, they need not worry any more.

Grossed out? Well, I didn't have to have full open abdominal surgery, but it was darn close. The surgeon said I was lucky he's a patient man. One of my stones was the size of a golf ball, so they had to make some larger incisions to get my gall bladder out. No wonder I felt like crap.

I've realized I hate sleeping on my back. I'm mostly a front sleeper, sometimes a side, but never a back. I think my back hurts worse now that my abdomen.

Well, sitting doesn't feel too hot, so I'm going to walk around a little more. *smooches*

I heard eating too much cheese also constipates you. *grin*

Be careful and try to relax a bit. Put a pillow behind your back and sleep semi on your side, sorta on your back. Should help the discomfort level some.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you're home and they did it laparoscopically.

I thought you were pooped before you pooped. Hope your recovery is speedy.
