Ten days post-op dependance

Nov 29, 2009

So I am 10 days post-op now.  Today, Monday, is day 11 since my panniculectomy and hernia repair.  the pain is pretty much gone but I am going nuts not being able to come and go as I please.  I feel very dependent on people again.  I thought I would never be dependent on anyone again.

I need help doing just about everything, I have someone else put on my socks, shoes, underwear, pants etc...  I have someone else pick things up off the floor because I cannot bend over to get stuff.  There is such a list of things I cannot do right now, that I could do a couple weeks ago but that I couldn't do before my duodenal switch last October.

I know this is temporary but it does play on you a bit.  Oh well, this too will pass.
