Check Up with Dr. Wynn
I went in to meet with Dr. Wynn today for my 3 week internal hernia and bowel twist surgery. Dr. Wynn said everything looks great and I in a week I can start swimming. I can start exercising, slowly...so look out Y I am going to get back on track. I asked her about the fatigue and she said with having three major surgeries within fourteen months, she said I need to be more patienant. I need to continue with my protein supplement and get my blood levels checked in three months. I am so glad. I also discovered that I lost 12 pounds since my visit in February, without even trying. I honestly am content with my weight and size, so I am not even trying lose anymore--WOW what a wonderful feeling not having to worry about my weight or try the next new diet. I love it and would do it again in a heart beat. I asked her about my left arm, the vein has been hurting for a week or so. She said I had a clot in the vein (not deadly), so I need to put warm compresses on it and it will heal itself. I guess that be it for now. Can't wait to see you at the next meeting. I wanted to sign up for the protein class but I guess it is already filled, bummer.
Hugs to all- have a great memorial weekend

Good news Nicki. Wow 3 major surgeries in 14 months. You have had a lot on your plate. Just try to be patient with yourself. Take it easy. You can take a long time to heal. You have the rest of your life to keep in shape. I still take a short power nap in the afternoon. I exercise almost 2 hours 5 times a week. I rest on the weekends. I put warm compresses on the blown vein in my arm for about 3 weeks post op. It sure helped. It was more sore than my lap & drain sites. Maybe if there are enough of us, they'll have another protein class. We can ask. Have a good weekend. See you next week. ((HUGS)) Elissa
