Congrats for joining the bionic brotherhood.
Are you going to drive 5 hours today? Or someone is accompanying you? It is so hard to sit in a driver seat for 5 hours only 24 hours after the IPP.

Lol
No way, my wife is driving us home.
I'm going to make a bed up and lay in the back seats.

Hadn't thought about making a bed in the back seat. Thanks. How was your bunk ride home?

Best of luck on a fast, painless recovery.

The catheter causes more pain than anything....I always tell them right before they put me under to tell ever who is doing that procedure to make sure they use three times more lube than normal and just put the cost onto my tab. Believe me it makes a huge huge difference about peeing after the surgery. I took a pain pill for the 5 hour ride home right after surgery and had no problems. I just laid the passenger seat back and slept most of the way. Wish you the best and please keep us updated. Remember ice packs are your best friend!!

Yes, they must have skimped on the lube!!!
Still hurts a little to go pee.
Oh yes, I love ice. Makes a huge difference!

The peeing thing go's away in a few days,,, keep icing it,, keep it super clean and bandaged well,, elevated when ever possible,, keep it pointed upward towards your belly as you lay on your back,, and I can't say this enough,,, some of the surgeons orders for recovery seem really overboard,, but don't be fooled by it,,, you will be feeling better here in the next few weeks, don't rush anything,,, just give it all the recovery time you can squeeze in before cycling starts.
The time you take to let it heal is one of the most important parts of this surgery.
Hoping for good luck in you recovery
