Congratulations! I remember too I had a better recovery for the second one compared to the first one. My friend who is also bilateral, had a slower recovery with her second surgery so it shows how different ears can produce different experiences!

I would still advise you to lie low and not do too much for a week if you can. I always found that around day 3 or 4 that I didn't feel too good after coming down from the high of getting through surgery. Maybe this is the time when the body goes into serious healing mode? Or becomes immune to the painkillers? Who knows!
