Still weak

[Queenfreak 36]

I'm 19 days out and still have a hard time with stairs and taking showers. I get so winded and weak I have to sit and wait for it to pass. My doctor checked me to be sure I don't have a blood clot. X-ray

And cat scan. They said no problems. Ok, now what? Is this normal?

Are you taking all your Vitamins supplements? Are you managing to eat well? Did they check your Iron?

You are still only 19 days out and probably still recovering from what was a major operation.

It's good they could not find anything sinister. I hope you start to better soon.

Hi Queenfreak,

I couldn't tell you what "normal" is, because my recovery has been very different from yours. I was doing all the things you have been struggling with from the day I got home. All I can do is wish you the best, stay positive, and keep in touch with your doctor and his/her staff.

Thanks I have bloodwork tomorrow and family doctor appt this week.Maybe that will shed some light on it. My sister thinks I may not be eating enough . I think she may be right. Still feeling my way around
