A week ago I came home from the hospital. At the time I imagined I was pretty clear-headed, but in retrospect I have to admit that the general anesthetic was still befogging my thoughts with some lingering curls of confusion. My abdomen hurt a fair amount.
Today I’m still easily tired (the discharge instructions said that I could begin work part-time this week, and that’s about right, though I’m impatient to do more than I ought to). My incisions hurt some, and the formerly-herniated parts also hurt some; I assume that’s from the stitching that put mesh over the ruptures in the muscle wall.
I still haven’t passed the point where I feel more comfortable after surgery than I did before, but everyone tells me I will. That would be good. I see the surgeon tomorrow, and he may have more specific words about what-all is up.
