One Month Post Surgery, plus a few days
Sep 18, 2008
I just wanted to give an update of how I'm doing. I started back to work Sept 2 and worked for 3 days. I had been having pain in my left lower lung when I took a breath. Then I started having some SOB when I walked. Back on FML and off work...I finally decided to call the Dr and see what they thought. I had to come in and have a CAT scan of my chest and abdoman. It showed Left lower lobe Pleural Effusion. He decided to just monitor it and see if it goes away. I had also woke up with pain in my left knee and could barely get around without limping. I know I have put my knees thru alot of stress over the years. After I bought a elastic knee brace, it didn't hurt as much to walk. I also had an U/S of both my legs to make sure I didn't have a DVT ( clot in my leg).-it was normal. Well, I am back to work and the pain is almost gone in my lung and my knee. I've lost a total of 40 lbs pre and post surgery. I'm back to walking again and hope to join a GYM soon to start firming up and losing more... I'm tolerating food very well, maybe too well. I can eat about 1/2 cup without any problems.. ....Carol
