Hello ma'am and welcome.

Well of course you have undegone a serious surgery anf recovery time is quite long for such a procedure. But I would encourage you to be strong and try your best to move around more, depending on the pain medication will only make you take things for granted. There will be quite some pain which you will have to tolerate, but only for a short period of time and the more you move around, the quicker this pain will reduce.

It is best to come off percocet at the earliest. Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
