I think I am gonna make it, lol

Well, I am starting to feel better now. I went to the doc today cause I had very bad pain from some inflammation meds that he gave me yesterday cause he wasnt willing to give anymore Lortab..... So it was called Tordal, long story short, I thought my stomach was exploding and in severe pain all night. So today he told me to come in and I did and he said well besides that I look great, and I need to start working through the pain and no energy, in order to regain my energy. I guess that is what I needed, because I decided to get my bed offf the couch, lol and get my butt up, because basically he was saying "get off it lady"! Now is the time to start living again. I thought a little harsh but realized while I was outside I felt much better, I even drove to the "take and bake" to get my kids dinner!!! It really made me feel good to come back to world of the living, and getting out of the house was the best thing for me. I want to thank all of you people that have sent me your "feeling like poopoo stories", they really made me feel better, even though that sounds kinda sick!!!! I couldnt have made it through without all of you!!!! I love you guys !!!! Love Christi

christi I am so glad that you are doing better keep up the good work best of luck to you ... keep us all posted debby

It is hard to picture yourself getting up out of bed in the morning and doing anything else but chilling on the couch all day when that was literally all you could do for a period of your life isn't it? Before my surgery my feet/knees/back were always in so much pain I did not exercise much. I also suffered from insomnia REALLY Bad and there were periods of 2-3 days were I NEVER slept and when I finally did fall asleep it was in the daytime. So after surgery that is all my body and mind wanted to do. Thankfully I had lots of help "being good" after surgery and I eventually got into a rhythm and then my hubby suddenly deployed and I was thrown to the wolves so to speak. You know each morning it was so hard to drag myself out of bed but I found that the more I did the better I felt. Pretty soon I was walking alone at night, then I was taking one of the doxies with me, then I took both with me, pretty soon I found myself at the pool for my firs****er arobics class. Now on the days that I can't get to the pool, I feel like I am dragging butt all day! The days I go and really work hard are the days I have energy to spare and I find myself getting so much done and actually getting to sleep at a decent hour! HTH!
