A couple of things I'll say about the lap and recovery.
1. Take the drugs. Seriously. I totally underestimated how sore I'd be and am glad that they gave me good pain relief. Also - let your anaesthetist know how anxious you are about the GA. Mine gave me a relaxant (the name totally absents me at the moment, I'll think hard - it was a benzo though) and it totally relaxed me - to the point that I was saying "woooo hoooooo, I feel lovely" to my surgeon and had the theatre team in fits of laughter before they knocked me out.
2. Rest rest rest - but like Marcellus said, try and get up and about doing gentle stuff. It helps with the recovery.
You'll be fine!!
