Hi all
Went to work was not feeling well so I came back home tummy swelled up and is hurting a little. Called the doc about extending me home another week am not sure if they will go for it. They were not to thrilled about giving me light duty. I am diabetic so I wonder if that has an effect on how quickly I recover from this surgery

Hi all
Was having some computer problems. My computer kept crashing on me. Monday I went to work, I was not there very long before I started feeling poorly. My co workers took one look at me and said I needed to go home. I am ready to get off this ride called the recovery roller coaster. I never did like roller coasters. Today I am feeling a little better. Hope everyone is feeling alright. I am keeping all of you in my prayers.
Hugs to all
Mary

Hi Mary,
Sorry to hear you're not feeling so well. I think you're right to take more time so you get stronger. I planned on going back earlier after my surgery, but ended up taking 6 weeks. Your diabetes could very well be creating some problems with your recovery, but you will feel better each week until you're doing things and eating things you never thought possible!
Good luck, and feel well!

Mary-
I am a bit worried about you. How are things going now? Please don't rush into fully status at work. Some people need more time to heal. I am one of those people. I seem to need about an extra 2 weeks more for some reason. I hope you are enjoying the weekend.
Take care,
Bill

Hi all
I have been having internet problems. I am feeling better. I still have some moments when I have reflux but it is usually when I eat somethink I should not be eattin or try to eat to fast. Tommorrow will by my first day back at work I think I might actually make it this time. The tummy swelling has gone down and I even lost a couple of pounds. I am hoping work remembers that they agreed to keep me basically onlight duty until I feel ready. I have one week of doctor ordered light duty thenback to full work status. The only place I am not comfortable working right now is in the jail. Guess I will just try to take everything one day at a time and not worry about the future. Thanks to all of you who have been with me throughout this part of my recovery. I will be onthe forum as much as I can. The first few days at work might be tiring so it will probably be work and sleep. I have also caght a cold so that will make me even more tired. Hugs to everyone

Well work was not too bad. I do wish I could hit the lottery and retire but don't think that will happen. Was pretty tired by the time I got home. I did have one person ask me why I was out so long and why I was on light duty crazy. Am trying to fight off this cold. Well time to get ready for day too. Hugs to all of you.

Mary-
Glad work wasn't too rough on you. I too have had co-workers ask the why questions. Some people either have a hard time comprehending how rough recovery from major surgery can be or they are just very insensitive. Hope you kick that cold quickly too.


Take care,
Bill

Hello Mary and how are you doing? Here it is October and we are well into Fall. I am just dropping in to check up on you. Some of our posts were lost during the problems with the severs being offline but we are all here to pick up and support each other.

You are such an important part of the Family here in this forum. Blessings to you.

Gentle Hugs
