Post surgery Update

[Sonrissa]

Hi everyone, well, today is day 2 after my surgery, and I'm doing well. The biggest issue is that I'm very tired. I'm awake for 2 hours, then I sleep for 2 hours. My pain is manageable. Not too bad, actually.  The funny thing is that I am actually listening to my body. What a concept, huh? I have never done that before. I have always taken my pain pills regularly whether I needed them or not, and then took them for no reason at all. Now, I wait until the pain is very evident, and honestly it hasn't been too bad. I am more uncomfortable than anything. I see my doctor on Monday, and I pray she will take at least half of this 10 lb bandage off of me. It makes it very difficult to drag my leg to the bathroom. LOL! All in all, I feel better than I thought I would.

Thank you all so very much for your thoughts, prayers, and support. I've received so many notes. I am truly overwhelmed and so grateful. I know that your prayers helped to get me through this. I can never say thank you enough! I hope to be back to my old self soon. I will keep you updated on my progress! Right now, I think I need another nap. LOL!

Thank you, again. I love you all!

Oh my little Malibu Barbie.......You just sleep this time away right now.  It is good for you.  I am so glad you got this fixed.  If you have issues with the bathroom they do make products for that.  It all "depends" on what you want!!!  lol

Hugs to you~

Proud of you Miss Rissa! Not only for keeping that wonderfully positive attitude, but also for being so self aware and taking your meds as needed as opposed to as wanted. You just keep getting better so we can see you around here more soon. Miss you! Gentle hugs, and lotsa' love your way.

Actually, Lesa, I think goof energy would be a GREAT thing, too!  (LOL)

Hey MissRissa!!  Thanks for posting an update for us!  So glad to hear you are doing as well as you are and learning to listen to your body.  You're right...what a concept, eh?

Sleep away baby.....our bodies heal more when we are asleep than at any other time.  Recoup, rejuvenate, and heal...ALL the things you need right now.  So as not to disappoint, wiki-clean found this tid bit for ya girl:

"When you sleep many of the body’s normal functions slow down or hibernate allowing the ‘T’ cells to do their job in the body. The Energy which is conserved is directed towards the healing process and you accelerate the time it takes to recover. Without taking time to sleep for as long as your body is requesting will only double the amount of time you suffer."

Sweet dreams....and we'll talk to you again when you wake up~

It is amazing how our brains blow a surgery up When in actuality after the surgery we actually feel a lil better in a different way Things feel on the mend and It does not hurt in the sick way but in a new healing way Anyway this is what I have found.. You are doing great Sonrissa ! Thank you for the up-date ya know I'm sending goof energy for a speedy healing... lesa

I hope you continue to heal and get some relief from this whole mess.
You deserve a break (and I don't mean another bone lol)!
