Postop Day 28

Postop day 28 was yesterday. Exactly 4 weeks since surgery. For me, it was a momentous day. It was the day my pain went away. I have had quite significant issues with pain and sometimes felt like it would never end. Okay yes, I knew logically it would end but it just felt like it wasn't going to sometimes. Even the night before I was awake in the middle of the night for an hour and 45 minutes with pain issues. However, I woke the next morning, postop day 28, and my pain level was barely noticible. As the day went on, my pain completely disappeared. Since surgery, it has never done that before. I spent the entire day waiting for it to come back and it never did. I was even able to do some things I haven't done since before surgery like bending over at the waist and picking something up off the floor. I was also able to sleep on my stomach last night too and I haven't been able to do that since my exacerbation of pain last Wednesday. I was so happy and I slept so good! This morning I woke up figuring I'd be in pain because I did have an extra busy day yesterday but I didn't. Yay! I feel so good now. I feel so normal now. I so hope my pain is gone for good.
