Thanks
@Lola's Mom, we are not alone in this journey.
Today was post op day 4 and definetely it has been a better day compared to the previous one!
Although I did not have a good night sleep at and woke up miserable (post op blues is a fact, dont feel sad about it but passes instantly) my first shower at home immediately shifted my mood and made me feel really good )))
They did offer me at the hospital on day 2 just before discharge to give me a shower but I thought I would feel more confortable at home.
Today I also realized that my ease of movement while getting up from bed, recliner or toilet set was less painful compared to yesterday. Otherwise pain is under control with icing and meds on time.
My incision is posterolateral and I feel the pain and soreness on my gluteal muscle yet I also feel its healing each day.
The only problem I had yesterday was, I slightly injured my shoulder while trying to sit slowly pressing on the crutches in an awkward position...thus I had one more ice pad on my shoulder the whole day today in addition to my hip. This kind of demoralized me for a couple of hours. I was advised by my OS partial weight bearing for 6 weeks this time and I could not put my weight on one of my shoulder, on the crutch...Its better now, thanks to God! Ice works!
