| Tomorrow will be a week from surgery. I feel ok but not great. I’m sleeping with a complicated arrangement of pillows. How long til I can walk straight? |

Wow. This brings me back. I'm sorry OP. Don't worry, this will all be a memory soon enough!
But...I'll be honest, it took me about 2.5-3 weeks to stand totally straight and about a month to get more comfortable sleeping. I had major muscle repair as well and everyone heals at a different pace. I promise you that is it worthwhile to take your time with recovery. It pays off in a good result! |

| Just don't rush it. Give your body the time it needs, it will be worth it in the end. |

| I literally do not remember the recovery after the first terrible days. I love how I look though, so get ready for the summer OP! |
