The last few days has been a huge mental challenge.
You have been removed from work for a while so there is always the fear of catching up. You haven't been socializing as much especially when havent told about your surgery and you also feel vulnerable.
The girl ive been talking to and took care of me started to have the need to hang with her friends more and more as i've gotten better. You have become clingy, needy, and your vulnerability heightens.
While this situation doesn't apply to everyone, i wanted to note this to show there as much as a mental challenge as it is as a physical challenge. For others, not being available as a parent or a spouse, feeling useless...every drop of concern increases ten folds.
All i can say is people including myself read this and say, it was a phase. I will catch up on work, i will start socializing again, and maybe she wasn't right for me during this recovery time.

Post op day: 10
Post op day 10: The challenge of my surgery is i had an arm lift which took extra strain on my body.
In either case, i found my arm lift had staples! No fun! Tomorrow i hope they will remove them but im not excited about the pain as well as the drains. Mentally it has been hard stuck to limited action as your loved ones are still helping you time to time.
My only concern is there is a hard lump above my stomach. I heard it could be scar tissue, etc, with people having it for several months or needing an additional drain! I hope that it just goes away!

Post op day 3: Decided to walk around the front...
Post op day 3: Decided to walk around the front and backyard yesterday. Please make sure this is just my own opinion but it seems the more I get up and walk around, the better I feel so please know your body. I did get some bowel movements just drinking as much smoothies along with protein bars which was a huge relief since you hear all these stories how the medication affects it. At this moment, the biggest challenge is the emotional part. You have been so dependent on your loved ones and today is Mothers Day and I wish I could spend time with the family.
