August 3, four days and counting...
Thank the Lord above for the bubble of grace that seems to surround me this week. I thought I would be a complete wreck getting this close but I'm not. Not to say I'm not anxious, I am, and I've had diarrhea for a couple days, but overall I'm doing well.
My biggest worry is the walking after surgery. I'm not very mobile to begin with being 531 lbs, but now with the loss of my arthritis medicine, it's gotten worse. My doctor required I be able to walk 5-10 minutes for surgery. I could do 5 a couple weeks ago with a couple breaks in there but I fear it's worse now.
But I keep telling myself that God has so perfectly orchestrated all this all along that he won't abandon me now.
I have to be at the hospital at 6:00 a.m. Thursday morning. Being one of the first to have surgery in August, I'll try to post as soon as I can and let everyone know what's going on. Every post opp post that I've read helps me to prepare.
Any words of wisdom from those of you have gone through it? Anyone else have mobility problems at the time of surgery?
Thanks and God Bless
Hey Kelle,
First off... Congrates on getting to the finish line of all the "dr hoop jumping" lol... And what a way to start off the new month huh? You will do just fine. I dont know about your dr but mine not one time pushes you to do something that you arent able to do. It is just very important to get to moving after surgery so the blood clots dont form. And I know it will be fine.Before surgery I couldnt even walk to the mailbox at the end of my driveway. Every step was murder and standing period had just become to painful. But you have so much to look forward to. Example.... I took my grandson for a haircut at jcp's yesterday before he starts kindergarten Friday, we went to wendys to play on the equipment there after we ate, went to walmart, other shopping stores. Life gets so much sweeter I tell ya. You will see to. So dont you worry about that and just enjoy the gift you have been so blessed to be given.... Im sure you already do ....
Hugs Marge
