A day after I had it, I went home, slept some, By Thursday, I was totally off pain meds (I did not ever take hard stuff -
Percocet made me throw up, too, and it really did not hurt that bad.) A couple tylenol every once in a while was all I needed (I did take one Vicodan one night to sleep through my husband's snoring!). By Friday that same week I was walking 2 miles, Saturday 3 miles...
