Glad your home Melissa...read your blog....and each day will get better.  At least you slept in a bed already, I slept in a recline the first week home before I was pain free enough to lie down and be able to get up pain free.

Welcome to the losers bench!!  See ya at meeting soon.

Melissa,

i am sorry you are having a rough time.  I am sure it will get easier...

I had the same type of recovery as you. I was miserable and asked myself what i put myself through. It gets better. so much better. Try to keep that in mind during this rough time. hugs

Melissa, Sorry you are not feeling so great. I am here if you need anything. If you ever feel like doing coffee or luch or just etting out to chat call me.. I will PM my numbers to you....Take care and you are in my thoughts and prayers...

Melissa,

Welcome to the Loser's Bench!!  I'm sorry that you're recovery isn't going all that swimmingly yet...give it time!  Don't be too worried about not getting in all your fluids and protein either...that to will come with time!

Feel better!
Heather

Good luck Melissa, you've gotten through the biggest step. hope the rest of your recovery is much less painful.

Melissa, I am sorry it has been such a rough start for you.Hang in there. It will get better. Don't worry as much about trying to hit your protein goals at this point. You can work on improving that with time as you begin to feel better. Do try to work on the fluids though, if at all possible. The risk for dehydration is higher in the beginning.

Wishing you all the best!

Debbie

Sorry you are having rough road to recovery. Things will get better. At least you have a loving husband helping you!

Hi Melissa!

I'm sorry to hear you are having a rough time - my first few weeks out were rough like yours - and at almost 3 months out, I've left my regret for doing this behind and am happy about my new life!

I think things will get better for you - and am so happy that you have such great support at home.  When I was at the point you are, I just concentrated on one day at a a time.  Everyday got easier.

Good Luck!!
