Doing too much

[Tweety40 52]

I had my surgery on January 13, and feeling pretty good except for the glue reaction. I live in the northeast and we are having a Blizzard right now. My husband and the kids went to shovel. I felt bad so I went out to wipe the cars off, I felt bad that I wasn't out there too. After a little while I started feeling g a tighten felling in the large incision area. Is that something I should be concerned about?

Assuming they know you just had surgery, you should have been turned around and marched right back in the house. Your job is to make hot chocolate and put fresh socks on high heat in the dryer so that they can warm up their toes quickly when they come back inside. A few years ago, I blew out a knee when shoveling heavy snow. Be careful, and take this nice warm hug from Chicago.

I agree. You don't need to be stretching or engaging your abdominal muscles too strenuously and you certainly don't need to be falling on the ice.

Walking around inside is ok, the rest will have to wait.

Stay safe and warm.

Is it oozing? Hot to the touch? If not then just sit down. You likely did too much and your body let you know.

Thank you eveyone. Ya I'm not going out again.

I would say, "you better or I'm coming to get you" but it's a long snowy walk from Chicago.

I behaved I didn't go back out, I feel so uncomfortable right now very sore. I haven't felt this way since last Saturday, then I was just a couple of days out.
