You don't want to overdo things like walking, but you do want to walk some. I have heard that alot of people walk alot in the hospital after surgery. I was not allowed out of bed the whole time I was there until the day that my surgeon released me, and then only around my hospital room for a few minutes with the aid of a nurse and a pt. When I came home, I would get up and walk about 10 minutes every hour. I didn't sit down except to eat. I can tell you that laying flat on your back for any length of time is uncomfortable. I used a pillow under my knees and it didn't do any damage, but before you do, ask your doctor. It sounds like your doing pretty good for no longer than it has been.

As far as your oxycontin and oxycodone........I was on oxycontin for a while, but I came off of them. I take ultram & lodine for mild pain and for bad pain I take oxycodone. I have a very low tolerance for pain meds because I refuse to take more than 1 or 2 a day. I can take a oxycodone and be knocked out for a whole day.

Good Luck with your recovery!!! Keep Smiling!!!
