July 2014 Surgeries

Congrats marcus rest now for quicker healing

Feeling restless. I don't like being in bed when awake. I've been told to wait until morning before walking around.

 

[mouse57]

You best do as your told then, try going back to sleep. Are you on a drip or are you drinking by yourself?

 

[marcusbm]

Still on a drip. No longer on oxygen as my sat levels were up to 96%. Can walk around a bit with the drip now.

 

[mouse57]

Well just take it easy, I know you've had a few things done but don't over do it, mind not so easy to do with a drip in lol. You don't want to feel like you've been kicked by a horse later tomorrow. You do sound as if your doing ok

 

[marcusbm]

I only really get frustrated when I can't move around. I used to be quite active and sporty until a series of illnesses. Eager to get back to my precious self.

Although I think returning to rugby might be a step too far.

Baby steps or you might do yourself more harm than good and I'm sure a few days rest is better than rushing and setting yourself back months

Yeah. Baby steps. Although I'm also gnawing at the table.

I was like that. I came out of my op at 9pm and was up going to the loo at 11pm and then showering and getting into my own clothes the next morning I just couldn't lay there and be looked after.

So happy for you!

We all get the gnawing feeling sadly but we do need to remind ourselves we have had major surgery and yours was more major than most

Got through the yoghurt ok so probably not lactose intolerant. On my way to the hotel. Will drop my bags then do some shopping.

I hope you've got someone to carry your bags for you - you mustn't be lifting!

The main bag has wheels. Otherwise it's just a laptop bag and a small plastic bag. It wasn't a problem and I deliberately chose a hotel on the bus station for the first two days.
