I heard that one of the miserable things from a C-Section is the gas pains that come along with it.  I asked the nurse what I could do to bypass those, and she said walking around and drinking plenty of water help.  So on night one, I was walking back from the NICU.  And by day two, I walked everywhere.  The nurses kept reconfirming that I was a “section” delivery.  I told them yes, and they all kept saying I was not acting like one.  So when I was walking out of my room for the third time the day after I delivered, the charge nurse said to me, “You wouldn’t happen to be going to the third floor to visit your friend, would you?”  Oh crap!  How am I getting in trouble in the hospital?!
And then I headed straight to the elevator and pressed three.

To visit my friend who was having horrible abdominal pains from her own C-Section two weeks before.
I guess she didn’t get the memo on walking around.
