Feeling Better!

It's been 5 days since my left kidney was removed. I'm surprised at how well I'm actually getting around! The incision site doesn't bother me, but the 5 little port holes from my robot hurt like the dickens. I'm walking a lot, not overdoing, I've gone for a ride to my daughters for a change of scenery Mon night, she drove of course!! As far as pain meds, haven't really needed them much, I do take half a pill before bed. For the most part 1 acetaminophen has been doing the job...Each day is getting better, showers are like heaven! The only thing I CAN'T do is sleep in my bed. Lying flat, or just getting in and out isn't worth the pain, so I've comandeered my daughter's new LazyBoy, it got delivered a week before surgery, so I'm breaking it in for the poor kid.....Just wanted to check in, so any new comers will be able to read a positive outcome from me....I was probably the most negative, frightened person to hit these boards...But thank you Iceman, you have been an excellent role model....and I hope to follow in your footsteps! Thank you
