Day after partial meniscus removal surgery. almost blacked out after getting up to go to the restroom. taking vicodin. did i get up too fast?

Drink more fluids!: Orthostatic hypotension (decrease in blood pressure) is likely the cause. Do try and rise to stand slower initially, but definitely drink more fluids, do your calf pumps, ice, and elevate.
