Back home

All, Actually I got out a day early on Wednesday- but today is the first day I have felt like getting on. Don't get me wrong, I feel good all things considered, just really tired. Doing my walking- actually I wouldnt have the option not to. My mom is a nurse and she has been with me every day and then in the evening my hubby and kids are home. She keeps me on a schedule and challenges me to keep getting better. But she also does really sweet things like rub lotion on the bottoms of my feet which I just cant yet seem to reach! I will be so glad when the tenderness starts to subside and I feel more energy. I am taking two-three naps a day and going to bed by 9pm at the latest! I just want to be able to run around again- I guess that will come soon enough, I will just keep walking!! At any rate, thank to everyone who has been so nice to answer all of my questions, alleviate my fears and send me good wishes. I think your wishes worked as I had an uneventful surgery and recovery is going pretty smooth. I can definitely tell I am going to have issues with mental hunger! I see food and think- mmmm..that would be good. That is going to take some work to get past! Anyway- enough rambling. I just wanted everyone to know I am doing well and I appreciate all of you on this board- you've helped me get off on the right foot in this journey. Later, Nan

Hi Nan! I am so happy that your surgery went well and you will be feeling stronger and stronger every day! I had surgery 5 days before you and when I look back to 1 week ago it is just amazing how much better I feel! It is so nice that you have your mom to help and keep you on track! With a family at home I'm sure that would be difficult! Take care of yourself! Hugs! Lezlie

Welcome home Nan...I am so glad things are going smooth for you!!! Keep up the good work and keep us posted Lori 287/223/140
