I am finally on the road to recovery

[msunique]

Hi all

Well I am starting to feel like me again the owwie pain has nearly gone and I managed to get the bowels working again today too, so the painkillers are being reduced and I am starting to shine back through yay.

Only a few more days now till I can start eating and worrying about if I am eating enough, will I know when I am full or is there a guideline to how much and how often I should eat?

I would also like to say thanks to you all for all your help and support before and since the op you are all fantastic

Glad you are feeling better Debs!Each day will be better than the last I promise,in a week or two you will feel on top of the world.The food thing is your next step and getting plenty of rest,mandatory 2hr snooze of an afternoon!I found 1-3pm had me fighting fit.Mind I dont have kids or work to worry about!i knew there was a bonus to getting older.Maz x

Aww thanks Maz,

I have kids and work to worry about, I have still got another week and a bit off work but as I have a 0 hour contract if I need more I will take more, and my hubby is around to run the kids about so I am taking it easy.

I think I am going to come off the tramadol as it makes me feel spaced out and go back to the codeine if I need something,

I am hoping to venture out tomorrow and see how I get on

Thanks, I am too I am planning on going out in the sunshine tomorrow for a walk and enjoy the rest of my time off work, I need to get the side effects of tramdole out of my system, they are powerful!!

Good to hear you are improving, I hope it carries on Xx

Im really pleased that it is going so well. And wasn't that sunshine a bonus today! I bet it left a spring in your step even though you must still feel zonked out.
Hope tomorrow is a good day too.

Dont hurry back to work hun if you can help it and make sure you are prepared for eating away from home.

 

[msunique]

Thanks Maz, I wont be hurrying back, I want to make sure I am feeling ok first, I am a home carer so I need to make sure I am 100% as it involves lots of bending and stretching.

I have got to work out what my body is telling me, it never used to to tell me I was full until I had overeaten so I am hoping it will tell me before that stage now! I cant feel anything at the minute being on the liquid stage but I am hoping when I start eating proper food I will be able to tell.

Glad you're feeling better and on the mend hun.

Just be careful - you may feel great but you're still healing inside. My hubby found that out the hard way! As the sun was shining yesterday he thought he'd mow the garden while I was at work (his op was 21 Feb and our GP insisted on signing him off for 6 weeks). When he'd finished he had stomach pains, probably from lugging the lawnmower around being too much of a strain on his stomach and muscles too soon! Men - always think they know better!

Mind you, the garden looks lovely again! lol x

h wow Karen, I wont be taking things that far lol but thanks for the warning. i will be milking this for as long as I can even the kids are making em cups of tea the housework is being done for me and I am sitting here taking it all in lol.

I do my share and I still do the weekly shopping cos I have always done it online but they get to put it all away

I hope you get your date through soon x
