Finally~~~I'm a POST-OP'er!!!

Hi everyone, I'm six days Post-op and it feels wonderful to be on the loser's team! I had a few problems during surgery which put me in ICU for the first night, but all is well now. I think I progressing pretty well. I have a long history of pushing myself through pain and forcing myself to get better as quickly as possible. This time I am attempting to do the opposite. I am taking it easy and not even thinking about anything other than what my goal is for the day. Fluids, protein, walk, rest are the always on the list first. I posted some pre-op pics, if anyone's interested. Thanks to all those who prayed and sent well wishes. It worked!!! Karen

That is great news. I am glad you are doing so well. Keep up the great work and don't rush your body to heal before it is ready. I have to keep reminding myself that as well. Amanda

Thanks, Amy. I do have to constantly remind myself of that. I am notorious for pushing the limits and getting better the 'fastest'. I have vowed not to do that this time, it's just too important. Thanks for the reminder! Karen

Sorry....I meant Amanda. Not Amy. Duh.
