Went to work today

I'm not officially back at work yet, but I stopped by today to get caught up on what's been going on, check messages, and bring some stuff home to do.  I ended up working for 3.5 hours!  It felt so good to be around everyone again, and to be somewhat in my normal routine!  I don't expect that anyone will be there tomorrow (it will almost definitely be a snow day), and then I have my first followup appointment on Thursday, but I think I'm going to plan on working all day on Friday.  Things are looking up!

To be back in to the routine does feel great, and to be "normal" again :) glad you are taking inituatives to keep in right track. Just dont over do it, dont want you to hurt your self .

yeah dont overdue it.  Glad that you are feeling so well.  WHat I wouldnt give to be around people again..  my sister is coming down friday and leaving on monday.  Cant wait.  Just hope that the muscle spasms I am having in my left side will be gone by then.  Had to get somehting called in.  Rescheduled postop appt for tomorrow.. however i think i may have to cancel due to the snow

My left side had pains too. I called the area my invisable boo boo. Felt extremely bruised, and spasmed at times, turns out it was from where they had to stretch out the musclkes there to do the surgery. Took quite a while for it to get back to normal.
Hoping yours feels better quickly! Let us know.

i was just cocerned beause it happened all of a sudden after i had been doing great. the pain was worse than when i was in the hospital post-op.  TY for your concerns

Ohhh.. I hope it is not a hernia. I hope whatever it is gets better really soon.

Fran, I already rescheduled mine!  It was supposed to be Wednesday morning... I was at the support group Monday night and pointed out that being as we were getting a foot of snow and I'm not allowed to shovel, that might not work out so well :-)  I did want to get in and check on how I'm doing, verify that my pain level is still normal at this point and also to weigh in.  It'll wait until noon tomorrow, though.  Snow day was declared yesterday, and my daughter's play rehearsal for tonight has already been cancelled... now we just have to decide whether to hibernate, play in the snow, or go on some outing by public transportation!

called my md and told the CNP that I was feeling alot better with the meds she gave me and to see if she still wanted me to come in.   SHe said that I can keep my friday appt and not to worry about coming in today due to the snow.  So post-op appt is friday at 0930.  Abdominal pain is much better.. but stupid me went out in the snow lastnight to take puppy out and feet slipped out from under me.  My butt is killing me. 

Hope u and your daughter had a great snow DAY

Good for you doing so well! Do use care in working Friday. Listen to your body, and do not over do it! Let us know how your appt goes for you!

Welcome to the losing side of surgery Lisa.  Take care and do not overdo.  Congrats and hugs.
