General
Had my surgery yesterday. Shujin was right you really want to flex those stomach muscles but you REALLY shouldn't. I'm well on my way to feeling better and my stomach doesn't hurt the way it did before. Even stitches are better than having a constant stabbing pain.
Thanks for all the support guys you've been great,

Its true... and do NOT try to push.. follow the Doc's instructions to the LETTER about what your muscles can / can't do right now. Remember, you've just had some serious trauma to those. Give them time to heal.

The worst part is getting up and down. x_x It hurts so bad because they had to go through that muscle tissue.

Oh, I know.. I know... ROLLING, SLOWLY.. was the only way for me.. and even THEN it required a LOT of patience and arm use.

Yeah I think I pulled muscles in my shoulders just from doing it that way because its really the only way to get up by myself.

Trust me.. that's MUCH preferred over tearing your stomache muscles again.

OP
Things are a little rocky I had to go back into the ER today because they gave me the wrong pain meds...and i kept throwing them up but I'm going to stay away from the pain killers and I should be alright
