I was sitting in a meeting and I crossed my legs for the first time in my life! It felt strange to have one leg on the other side of the other... so much so I totally lost my train of thought and it distracted me. I would cross and uncross my legs just to feel what t was like. I wanted to tell someone but I decided not. It…

I have a gym available to me through my work, for free! But, most days my schedule is so busy and I just want to go home to my family. I've had to get out of…

I agree, the first first few hours in recovery sure felt uncomfortable but, it 's major surgery. I felt like throwing up but didn't. It all passed quickly. I was at home the next day. The roughest time for me was about 48 hour after surgery. There was some very uncomfortable pressure in my abdomen. If this happens don't be…
