My boyfriend was kind enough to ask his cousin how his appendectomy went, so I could have a better idea of what to expect with mine. His was also done laproscopically so my recovery should be similar.
His cousin said that the surgery is nothing, and that he woke up feeling decent (no nausea or anesthetic complications...which is what I was worried about) and was able to go home the same day. He also said the recovery wasn't that bad pain wise.
The snag? He was told he couldn't lift or do anything for a week. The maximum weight you can lift is 2lbs. Can't even lift a laptop or a full single serve pop. Can't go upstairs (which I already knew) either.
My boyfriend was somewhat nervous to share that with me because I haven't spent a single DAY doing nothing, let alone a whole week. What the hell am I going to do with myself?
