3 days post-op

I have been home for 3 days now and I am starting to feel better. When I first came home on Wednesday I felt like I had been hit by a bus. I was never told that this might happen. All I ever heard was once you get home you will feel like getting up and about and that I could probably return to work within a couple of days. This definitely is not the case, and I consider myself to have a high pain threshold. My abdomen feels like it is going to drop off every time I stand up or even move in bed. I think it is because of all the bruising from the laproscopes (I have four cuts/scars from those and one where they inserted the fill port). I am taking a narcotic med for the pain and have been tapering off. I really hate the side effects of pain meds.Well my home nurse just left and said I was doing good. I think I will try to take a walk outside now that the sun is shining.
