I feel as though I have a new lease on life...can't stop smiling.
Tonight I'm having a dinner party...I'm only 16 days out from having my lung surgery and am feeling great. My friends think I'm pushing it, but I've been pacing myself since I've been home from the hospital.
I think people who have fibro might have a leg up on the "normals" when it comes to all pain. We are used to dealing with it...this is helping me tremendously through my recovery. Each day The pain from my incisions is not as intense. I was cut from right under my right breast under the nipple to under my arm to my back to about my shoulder blade. They put two chest tubes in my side to drain blood and fluids from my chest and those holes were sewn looking like draw strings.
Going braless is a must right now...the girls love their freedom.
Starting to cut back on the percocet and will probably be weaned off in the next couple of weeks. My breathing is actually better now with a lobe missing...I continue to work on my breathing exercises and hope as my breathing becomes better, I'll be able to walk longer.
As a result of the cancer, I have been really eating much healthier, yes I still indulge in my Milky Ways but as an occasional treat. I drink about 80 ounces of water daily now, eating lots of lean protein, plenty of fresh fruit and veggies. Cutting back on the sodium has helped too. I'm feeling better and better. Fibro fog is giving me some real fun lately but other than that life is GREAT!
Enjoy the weekend, my friends
Hugs, Robin
