5 Days Post Op

Nov 21, 2010

Surgery went well and discharged after 2 days - less than 48 hours. I thought I knew what I was in for but the pain has exceeded my expectations. I am still having difficulty getting up and walking around. most of my walking is to the bathroom and back although I force myself to walk around the house as much as possible. My huge undertaking yesterday was a shower. Very refreshing after 4 days.

I have a lot of "is this normal" questions going on in my head and I'm very thankful for this website where I can search and find alot of info on personal experiences.

I am sleeping just a few hours at a time. not able to get a full night sleep but napping some during the day.

I am anxious for my first post op appt next wednesday so I can weigh in and see what I have lost as well as get some answers hopefully.

Thanks to all of you that said a prayer for me day of surgery. I appreciated every and thought that day.

Two Days till Surgery!

Nov 13, 2010

2 days away from my new lease on life and feeling a little overwhelmed. I feel like I need a check off list as I have no clue where to start, what I need to do or what I haven't even thought of. My focus has been on making sure I have every thing caught up at work so I don't leave unfinished business to fall on someone else. Now I am working on making arrangments for my daughter that is traveling up to the hospital with me. I still need to get my laundry done and get packed. I work a 10 hour day and have a 1 1/2 hour commute to and from work so my time will be limited to get any thing accomplished tomorrow. I wish I were a better organizer/planner and didn't procrastinate so much!
