SaraLaughs 23 Posted January 14, 2013 I'm three weeks out. I can take walks, I managed to grocery shop, I thought, "Eh, I'm good. I have enough energy to paint my daughter's bedroom." Hubby tore it all apart, child has been sleeping on the couch for the last two nights and all I managed to do was wipe down the walls. I couldn't even get it taped off before I got dizzy and out of breath. Argh! I love to paint and I can't do it now. I think my stamina will get better, but right now, I'm frustrated! I started a project that my husband and sons will have to finish, and it's something I love to do!!! And I'm worried about going back to work. I have a very physical job. What if I can't do it? I needed to vent. I'm still more glad than not about having had the surgery, but today I'm frustrated with myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm 2 months out and I'm jogging 3 miles regularly your stamina will get better just start working at it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
