I wish you good luck with your implant and excellent outcome for your full satisfaction. For most of us here, pain was tolerable with just OTC pain meds. You will need to take it easy first week.
I am also scheduled for revision on December 2.

Thank you sir. Thats very nice of you saying good words. Happy to hear about the fact that pain will be tolerable. Any tips on taking it easy for the first week? any best practices? I am more worried about keep it up right and cycling etc.. what should I do.. what I should not do?
and why revision on Dec 2nd? How long have u been having it?
Stay horizontal as much as you can. Standing puts more pressure on your surgery site. Even sitting is inferior to laying down. Taking it easy in the first days allows quicker healing so that your second week will be better for it.
I found, when urinating, it was easier to pee in a bottle or the hospital portable urinal (even standing in front of the toilet) and pouring the contents into the toilet rather than trying to aim the flow.
