Feeling Great



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery early Thursday (Nov. 10) morning and I'm feeling great. The surgery lasted less than one hour and by 1:00 p.m. I was home in my own bed a little bit and walking a little bit. I spent most of Friday out of bed walking around the house. Saturday I didn't lay down at all. Pain is minimal. Today is Sunday and I plan to go to work tomorrow.

I had previously had a gallbladder surgery and was expecting that type of pain, but it was nowhere close.

What a great experience this has been so far. Much better than I had anticipated. And I've lost 10 pounds in these last few days - which I am sure is mostly Fluid - but who cares it is weight loss.

Hope all the others having surgery in the next few days, weeks, months, years have the same experience as I have had.

Carolyn

Congratulations, and welcome to bandlandia!! It's wonderful that you're feeling great. Don't try to do too much too soon, though; you're still healing and there may be a down or two before you're recovered fully. Remember to be GOOD to yourself!!

Healing is wonderful--it's so amazing to be feeling better each day than the last. :)

Carolyn,

Im so glad to hear how great your recovery has been so far.

But I echo what Alex said - take it slow, you are still recovering from surgery.

Doing too much - too soon isnt wise!!!

Happy Healing!
