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 Nicki

Nicki, So glad to hear that your progressing sweetie.....your report from the Docs sounds great....and congrats on the 12 lbs. lost! Enjoy your weekend and hoilday. (((Hugs))) Shay

Nicki, Glad to hear that everything is looking good and you are feeling better! I wanted to sign up for that class too......maybe next time! See you next Saturday!!! Ken

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

So glad all went well with your checkup! Happy Memorial weekend! See you at the next PMRI mtg. ((hugs)) Carla
