" I hear you! Trust me, you're going to be sore so try to get all housework etc done before you go in! My house is an absolute mess and I can't do a damn thing about it! Husbands and cleaning do not go together, at least in my world, lol! You'll be fine, trust me. I didn't even get that much swelling or gas, lol!!!! You will be hooked up to a machine that gives you morphine through an iv so you won't feel much pain the first night. My problem was when they took me off the iv they gave me oxycodone and I got so sick from it. They even kept me an x~tra night because I couldn't hold anything down. Then they switched pain meds and I was fine. Trust me, you'll be ok. Just make sure you have help and that you take it easy. Have a good day! ~heather "
