I just am blown away how we are created that in a week and a bit's time how these cuts are mended closed!!

I just have to keep in mind that the inside is not near to being as mended. But just amazing how quickly we can heal.

I am feeling awesome, last week while in pain and everything takes more time, I was wondering what the heck I did to myself.  One short week later and feeling so much better, I have hope again. lol

Thanks for the support and personal messages I have been recieving to find out how I am.

 Great to hear how well you are doing.  It is amazing how every week gets better.  You're brave.  I kept my steri strips on way past the time they should have come off because i was scared to take them off.  But I agree, the human body is an amazing thing!  I think it takes 3 months for the insides to fully heal, but I'm not sure.

I agree Brenda.  And glad you are feeling well.  It makes the recovery process so much better when you can concentrate on eating and not dealing with pain, discomfort, etc.

Brenda. you may get a chuckle out of this -

I was recently telling a friend  who's considering the surgery about what to expect, and I used you as an example of a positive attitude.
And look what it's getting you - instead of whining over how your tummy hurts, you are marvelling at how quicly you're healing!

Love it!

Can't wait to see your victory dance, at some point!

Good for you, Brenda! I'm amazed too at how fast our bodies heal after surgery. My steri-strips are still on but are really starting to curl up so I guess I'll have to take them off soon - lol!  I'm glad to hear that you are feeling so good these days!

Youbare definitely in a good place. Seeing how our body responds and heals you can't help but not feel awe and respect for it. Keep up the great work.
