Remembering day of and day 1 after surgery

Jan 24, 2010 16:00

I wrote a post about this at the Make me heal forums, so I figured I'd put it here too... interesting to compare the memories I had from 7 weeks after... also nice to write things down.

( It's under here! )

What I really want to see is your pics now!! Your one of the closest people on lj that lives somewhat near me, wouldn't it be far out if we ever met in real life, lol. What a hoot. No, I'm not being weird just needing to reconnect with the world!!

If you're ever in Boston I'd love to meet you! =)

The day 1 pics look better than the current ones, I'm still really swollen. I will find some time to size more images and put them online...

Sweet! Hopefully most of the pain has gone away and you can resume activities. =)

It's not really painful, pain went away in the 2nd week. It's more of an "doing this feels funny" type thing. I can walk full speed and stand up straight and move around normally. My stomach is very swollen and still tender (waistbands are still not an option), and that's the limiting factor. I was back walking miles after 2-3 weeks (walked 4 miles on the first day of week 2) and now walk 4 miles every day for my commute (unless I cycle!). I have been holding off on running because it feels weird when the stomach is jostled. I should try that soon, I'm having very strong urges. I've been randomly jogging a block here or there. =)
