I went thru and did the same as he did. Get it scheduled and do it!! Don"t let anyone scare you out of it...it"s your body and that muscle tear will not heal itself as if by magic.
1. You will NOT be able to sleep in bed for 3-4 weeks, so go buy that LazyBoy first...it makes for very good sleeping. And 12 yrs after that surgery the LazyBoy is still the best possession I have.
2. Do the rehab exercises EXACTLY like you are instructed to do. You cheat on this and you will pay for it.
3. Don"t "get ahead of yourself"...you are not Atlas so don"t try to rush with the tillage, planting, baling, etc.

I did one thing wrong with this: I did it as an out-patient, was home 4 hrs after surgery. Slept fitfully. Next morning wifey assisted me walking to bathroom. Then sat at table for breakfast....next thing I knew I woke up to cereal and milk everywhere and wifey telling me I passed out. Blood pressure dropped too much.
Went back to LazyBoy...felt woozy one more time (almost fainted). Wifey brought some fruit juice; I enjoyed being waited until she figured out later in the day that I was enjoying that too much!
