and even dumber

ooops ok i think the signature did work, but how do i get it glittery etc ? god i`m sad xxx

Lol bel, you're doing great. If you want a glittery one you'll need to make it on a seperate site like you do with the ticker. Where you went to type in the big pink bellsie paste the ticker stuff there, and for the glitter one do the same

You can create a glitter sig at Free Glitter Text Words Generator | MySpace Glitter Text Word Name Graphics Maker | Cute Happy Birthday Comments | SparkLee.com

Shelbell, just saw your fantastic weight loss, and you only had op 2 months ago, am having mine on 14th oct. Do you feel ok now, mentally as well as physicaly ? It`s just that i have 2 young kids and i`m worried i wont cope after my bypass op, what with the lifting, and tiredness etc and it`s pretty demanding already, just wondererd how long it takes to get your strength back ?

I feel great I was bad for about a week, very tired and couldn't do much. After my staples came out I was much more comfortable which helped. Stayed tired for about 2-3 weeks but was back at work quickly and have managed fine. Now, I have lots more energy than before and mentally am feeling more confident already

Claire (clairelou) has a young lad, and had to go back to being a mummy very quickly post op, and she coped just fine. I'll ask her to come on here and tell you about it.

Fantastic.Your a star. I have a 17 month old major terror and a 3 year old, so a bit worried xxx

 

[shelbell]

np i've left a message for her so she'll be about soon. I was lifting up my 22month old nephew a few days post op lol (naughty shel) and managed ok. I just had to adapt how I lifted him and made sure I wasn't standing holding him for long etc. My main problem was picking things up off the floor! I dropped a carton of soup a few days post op and had to call my mum to get her to come and clean it up lol.

Do you have friends/family close by who can help?

 

[belbouteloup]

I do luckily. i plan on making my husband my butler for a week, though he`ll probably drive me sooo nuts, i send him back to work (hee hee)

 

[shelbell]

you'll be grand then

Hi Bellsie...i`m a single mum with a 2 1/2 yr old who i had the full time job of caring for form 2 days after my surgery. I had explained to him that mum was having an operation & wouldn`t be able to pick him up & luckily he was really good. It is really tiring for the first few weeks as Shel said & obviously your 17 month old won`t be able to understand that you can`t do as much. After about 2 weeks i was back to be able to do most things the bending was never really a problem the lifting even up to a month after i could feel my insides pulling if i did anything too strenuous. Just try to go with what your body tells you you can manage & take any help offerred with the kids.

If you need to ask anything specifically contact me my msn is [email protected]

Hi bells, i had a 14 month old and 7 year old at the time of my op. My hubbie was working away and had to get on with it as they say. I'll be honest was hard work and knackering and would advise you to take full advantage of your hubbie looking after you. xx
