Homef from hospital

Hi all,

I was released from the hospital and arrived home around 5:30pm.  I had a bit of a challenge with extreme high blood pressre and stayed in recovery until 5 pm on Monday.  I think the B/P was elevated because they could not get the pain under control.  Once the pain was control I was up walking evey 2 hours through out the night.  I am currently walking through the house sipping protien and ice chips in between.  I feel like I wa**** by a mack truck .  Thank you for all of the well wishes.  By the way I  gained 14 pounds while it the hospital.  My legs look like pin cushions.

Welcome home, Linda!!!!  And welcome to the Loser's Bench!  I know you don't feel very welcomed right now, but trust me, it WILL get better.  I'd say the first 6 weeks or so are the roughest, but as long as you're doing what you're supposed to, you'll be okay.

The Mack truck feeling will go away as well - being home will help with that.  Just remember that you've been through a major surgery and it's going to take some time for your body to heal.

If you need to talk, vent or cry, just give me a call.

Hang in there!!!

Hugs and love,

Tia

Hey Tia, thank you so much for the wonderful words of encouragement.  I did receive your PM.  Today is Friday and while I am not running any mar tons I am better than I was 4 days ago.

Welcome to the Losers Bench!!!!

Thank you

Welcome Home. That feeling will go away pretty soon. If you can get a ho****er bottle or heating pad.

God Bless.

Thank you so much, the warm heat really helps with the pain.

Sorry you had a rough time. I hope you will feel better ASAP !  Wishing you a smooth recovery !  Julie

Thanks, Juliie

I feel like I can only get better at this point.

Congratulations!! Glad everything went well. Hopefully all will be smooth sailing from here!

Give it at least two weeks before you get on that scale again. Its all water and gas and what not.
