So it has been three weeks since my surgery and I must say that compared to the last time I am feeling great. I was able to lie down on my stomach last week and it was real relief to not have to go to sleep on one side so I can be comfortable. I am still on the pain medication but I have reduced the number of times that I take it during the day and I am going for longer periods without needing to take anything or without feeling the stabbing pains in my stomach.
I went back to work one week after surgery after being told by the doctor that I could do so if I wanted to. He just told me to take it easy and not life any weights and to rest if I felt tired.
I became severely anemic once again due to all the bleeding and lost a lot of blood during the actual surgery and needed another blood transfusion as well. I have to go back on an iron regimen to build up my blood levels once more because being anemic leads to fatigue easily and I have to walk quite a bit during the day.
I just wanted to thank everyone for the prayers and the messages because they really helped me to feel better and I am sure that feeling good helped me to recover faster as well. I wanted to thank my guest posters during the week that I was in recovery because they provided fresh content and did not let the blog stagnate.
Sorry to hear your recovery has not gone as well as planned. Wishing you well and hoping for the best. Remember it is ok to take time to heal.
Our thought and prayers are with you during this tough time. We are all pulling for a fast ans speedy recovery. I am sorry to hear about the complications and having to go back on regiment to get you blood levels back to normal.
Get well soon!!
