I just had my surgery last wednesday but I ventured out and went to the movies today with my husband. I just couldn't turn down the $2 movie at Colonie Center. All went well I had him drop me at the curb to avoid the walk from wherever we had to park. I felt well and that I was strong enough. I was somewhat tired when I got home but I even managed dinner. After thinking about it I better slow down, how often in your life do you have people around to do everything for you. Also I don't want to pu**** and end up having issues. Hope everyone is doing well.

hey i felt totally fine 3 days after my surgery everyone is different, i dont see that it would be harmful to sit and watch a movie, however sitting for long periods does increase risk of clots so keep that in mind just my opinion

The longest of Journeys start with a single step

How was the movie???  I got home on a Thursday and went to Walmart on Sat.  I felt like I overdid it, but I thought I felt good enough...all the walking killed me...got the gas moving and that hurt like heck!!!  Im glad your feeling well!!!

That's great that you were able to get out.  I completely forgot about that deal at Colonie Center.  I totally agree take advantage of the help while its available and let yourself heal. Use your energy like you did today for pleasurable, relaxing time.  I think getting back to a somewhat of a real life helps to make the surgery seem so harsh this early out when the changes are the hardest. Will you be going to the support group Thursday? Dominique

I am hoping to make it to group this week. I will have to see how it goes. My husband would have to watch the kids therefore I would have to drive. So as long as I feel up to that I will be going.

I had my surgery on april 30th wich was a wedensday got into my room around 11pm was gone noon on saturday and went to my flag football game on Sunday morning. I am coaching right now cuz I cant play and I can say that it was good to be outside. I get excited when it comes to football and was continously being told to calm down cuz i was getting riled up.
