It probably doesn't feel like it to you, but you sound like you're doing awesome! While I was physically capable of walking the next day, it was probably 4 days before I was able to stand up from sitting on the edge of the bed and not immediately puke everywhere (sorry tmi).

And I feel you on the rolling over to get up - I could NOT roll to my left side for probably 3 weeks. Too weak or uncoordinated or something, and the incision was just enough in that direction that the pain was much worse. And the drain for the surgery was on that side and I was terrified of accidentally pulling on it. They got aggravated with me in the hospital b/c that would have been a 2 step trip to the bathroom, and instead I had to get off of the other side of the bed and walk around (while sick).

I will keep my fingers crossed that the nerve pain will subside quickly. I imagine (and I'm hoping) that it IS just inflammation, and I doubt that will last too long.

Good luck in your recovery - we're all here for you!
