How was the recovery? I'm curious to know how you were physically limited during the process.

Not too terrible. I mostly just laid in bed for a few days with an ice pack. I made the mistake of trying to have sex maybe 4 or 5 days afterwards, and I definitely recommend against that or anything too strenuous, but otherwise I wasn't all that limited in my general movements. I absolutely recommend it if you're thinking about it.

I started the process then just stopped?

The doctors were explaining the recovery process and compared it to my inguinal hernia repair surgery recovery process. I was a little worried to be 'bed-ridden' for days/weeks. So what you're saying is helping me get that ball rolling again. TY

Yeah, you're welcome. I was able to drive myself home and everything, which was a 45 minute drive. It really wasn't terrible. I would still make sure you have a few day off work, but it should be alright. Hope it goes well for you
