Jennie - surgery today

Thanks Kix!  I don't know what I'm going to do since I've been told specifically NO pool, or tub bathing for 4 weeks, and no exercising other than light walking for 2 1/2 weeks.  After 2 1/2 weeks, I can walk on a treadmill for 20 - 30 minutes at a time.  No bicylce, ellipital, no weight lifting for at least 6 weeks!  I love to exercise so much now, and that has become such a big part of my life that I am worried about gaining weight back, becoming lazy and lax with working out etc.  I know that much of this is a head game, so I just have to stay strong! Also, I am so bummed to get on the scale and see that I'm up 12 lbs OVERNIGHT!  OH MY GOSH!  I know that is all fluid weight, but after my ablation, it took almost 1 month to go back to my presurgery weight.  How long will this take!  Not going to panic, but it wasn't expected! Oh, and thanks for the pink post!

Positive energy and prayers going out to our girl, Jennie, for a speedy recovery.   Kellie

Thanks Kellie.  I really appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers.  God is so good, and I know that he is taking care of me each step of the way.

HAVE A FAST RECOVERY AND WE WILL MISS YA TILL BACK WITH US.... SO TAKE IT EASY AND SUCK UP ALL THE GOOD HELP YOU CAN GET WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS...  WE WANT YA BACK SOON! HUGS MARGE

Thanks Marge.  My family and friends have been super.  Even my son stopped by after I got home to see me.   You would have to know our relationship to get how big that is, but it is HUGE.  My friends have all been such a help and a blessing. I have people bringing my family meals for the next several days, which will be great.   Thanks for the good thoughts

Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!  HUGS  Jeanine

Thanks Jeanine!  I'm beginning to discover just how hard my desk chair is!  I hadn't quite expected sitting to be an "event".  and I didn't even have to have extra "repair" work.  I know that it will get better from here! 

Go to the drugstore & get a "donut"  LOL  Not the kind with icing & sprinkles...but a rubber or inflatable version to sit on....I may have to do the same since my sciatica bothers me more than ever now that I have less "junk in the trunk"  LOL  Get well fast!  HUGS  Jeanine

Jennie-- Wishing you an uneventful recovery. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Valerie

Thanks Valerie.  I really appreciate the prayers and thoughts.  I'm trying to be good and take things easy.  This is easier said than done!  Actually, I am catching up on some reading and I'm planning out a few new quilt projects for when I can sit longer and do a bit more.
