Hi Bob, thank you! Best of luck to you in your recovery. Just read your post. I had those same dreams and sweating. It stopped for me when the pain meds stopped.
Surgery goes by quick ... It will be a thing of your past. Best thing, is you look thin and healthy. I was only in for 3 days. I'm 53 and 115 pounds. I will be one year on March 3.
I'm sure your wife if very happy. I was so swolen after surgery .... My husband didn't recognize me. i gained like 17 pounds of water weight.
