Post Op and single

Aug 10, 2014

When I was pre-surgery I used to wonder why people stop posting so much right after surgery. Now I know why. I am 2.5 months post-surgery and I barely read OH anymore. Every once in a while I will look to see if I have messages and I will glance over the topics but then I walk away. I have just become busy and I can't sit still so much. So many changes have occurred in my life. Everything seems to be going positively though. I cannot complain at all about my experience thus far.

The other day the family doctor told me he was cutting my cholesterol pill from 40 mg to 20mg, so that was a step in a positive direction. My respiratory doctor and I are playing phone tag. I would love to know if I still have sleep apnea. I packed my machine away already because I don't believe I have it anymore. The headaches are gone. I sleep fairly well. I don't wake up tired. If only I could catch this guy on the phone to confirm it once and for all.

My friends have lots of questions about my experience with this surgery. I do welcome all of the questions. I like talking about the surgery. It was a positive experience. If I can help anyone make a decision I surely will jump in on that, although I wouldn't want to be responsible for their ultimate decision because it is a very personal one.

I am dealing with being single right now. I am in very unfamiliar territory. I was never one to flirt or mess around on my husband. When a man looks my way I still quickly look down as if there is something wrong going on there. I need to stop that or join a convent. lol Someone encouraged me to try singles websites but I am not enjoying that. I put the profiles up and a few days later I take them down. lol

I have friends and family who have made it a point to get me out of my new apartment and doing fun, new things. Tonight three of my friends are taking me to a local casino I have never been to. This should be interesting. Yesterday I went to a baseball game. Last week I was invited on a trip to the shore, which I enjoyed immensely. Every day has been something. Since I moved into my apartment on June 30, I think I have stayed home one complete day to relax. Not bad considering before my surgery I was lucky to leave the house once a week, if that.

Yes, this surgery can change your life. It can force you to do things you may have been afraid to try before. It is a positive experience for me, even though I am proceeding with caution with each step I take. I have no regrets. I have only happiness welling up inside of me. I hope you feel the same way post-op. We all deserve happiness!
