Update

Went to see my surgeon chappie today (two week post op check up).Well it seems that some people have nerve problems after surgery due to being strapped to the table and/or the pushing and pulling they had to do during the op. This usually results in the numb/burning leg I have acquired. This, my surgeon informs me, should get better by itself. He’s not concerned about the pain in my belly, caused by the trapped fluid and/or dried blood, as it is now easing somewhat. The best news is that the  actual surgery site is healing perfectly, all the swelling has gone and everything has healed. The incisions are excellent and I can have a nice warm bath now instead of showers.  I just wish I could sleep better.If I lie on my back my hips ache but my belly and leg are okay.If I turn on my left side my belly hurts but my leg and hips are fine.On my right side both my belly and leg hurt but my hips are alright. Happy Bunny nowhere in sight.

So sorry you are having these problems!!!! I pray they get better soon for you!!!!! Maybe soaking in a nice warm bath might actually relax some of the muscles and help you sleep better. Hugs Kim
