Omg same here. Except I went in COVID negative and came out COVID positive. My fave movies are Labyrinth (David Bowie) and monsters vs aliens and Moana and mirromask

My dad played alien and laughed the whole time because he thought it was so funny following abdominal surgery! 😂😂 I liked doing a throwback to the Barbie movies 😂😂

rosy, thats hilarious! i’m in so much pain so i don’t think i’ll feel like watching an extremely funny movie in fear of popping open my incisions 😫😂 i do adore the barbie movies though! when i was little i had an awful bout of the flu and i was obsessed with the barbie movie that’s about parks and fashion - i watched it on repeat that entire week!

Oh 100% do not do funny for several days!!! Maybe a light thriller! Keanu Reeves is always a safe bet!

I don’t know if they told you or not but take a gas x or two it’ll help if you’re having shoulder pain- and a cup of miralax a day will help that first poop not kill you!!

DEF agree with what Rosie said about the gas x, my shoulder was the worst pain for the first day post surgery! Cold compresses also helped! For movies and tv shows I mostly watched things I had already seen since I was so tired that I was falling asleep partway through most of them haha, and it helped that I wouldn’t laugh as much when I was watching things I’d already seen because of the pain- I got my surgery this past summer and I re-watched most of good girls since the show was ending at the time!
