After seven procedures, I feel obligated to share experiences so others can make more educated decisions. They have to hurt you in order to help you... No glory in this game. Day two here is weaning from oxys and getting bowels moving. Not pleasant, but necessary on both using the pain pills properly and getting off them early enough and toughing out that consequence.
Makai, I would pay particular attention to the dates on the articles and keep in mind you are reading off the internet... Don't take anything as gospel. The recovery ebbs and flows, even in the past day for me. I am extremely lucky to be set up with one level living and a superbly understanding supportive wife. The work and resulting pain ahead of me in PT(as well as just getting through the days with small exercising) is an investment in my future function. Again, no glory...
