@EricaC glad you ar home! How are you feeling? Good that things got moving. How is your pain? There are some really good suggestions here for keeping the constipation at bay while on pain meds. Definitely going to incorporate some as well.
@Cynthia777 thank you! Sounds like a good idea! Magnesium makes sense and is good for lots of things It seems. Great thought thanks. That's why this forum is so good! A place to pool lots of good diverse info.
@Jillie422. yay!!!! Hugs and well wishes! Awesome hubby will be home and you have some time to relax before surgery. Monday it is! So happy for your day to finally be here! You've waited long enough. Now concentrate on getting you well. Your Bonesmart family is here rooting you on!
@Jillie422 what a beautiful place to recover! North Carolina is such a beautiful state. Love the river running right by your deck! You and Jax will be loving it! A weekend then it's here! :wowspring::yes!::yay::loveshwr:
@Miss Muffet what a beautiful peaceful yard. Definitely re-energizing just being in that space! Good for you stepping up your steps and getting outside. Working in such a beautiful garden has to be healing! @Cynthia777 as a Calif native I love Joshua trees and I miss the high desert just as...
@Cynthia777 @Miss Muffet @Readysetgo thanks for your words of encouragement! I've been so up since the surgery which was one week ago today. A little down today. Some pain in hip, may have done too much yesterday. And still plugged up. Have tried just about everything. Feeling a little...

Thanks @Michegon! Working on listening to my body. So far, doing okay at it. Slept most of the day yesterday, and felt pretty good for it. Telling self it's okay to nap during the day right now. Did a good bit of walking today, a little tired but amazed at the progress! Hugs and well...
@dandi_candi :thumb: that is a good omen! Such a windfall can come in handy! Enjoy your tattoo convention! Sounds fun. @Zelda :) Hamish is a great name for a hip!
@Readysetgo Yikes:tantrum: That was a huge misstep on that nurses part. Don't blame you for being upset. It had an impact on your recovery and relationship with your surgeon. You should note it for sure. It can mean the loss of income or position for some if it impacts their readiness to...
Thank you @Cynthia777 :loveshwr: makes sense to cut back slowly not just drop them altogether. Definitely don't need any withdrawal symptoms.
