11 Weeks Post Op
WORTH IT$14,600
I am at about 80% and feeling great! 2 weeks ago I ran a 5K and actually beat my time from last year, which probably had something to do with me not smoking!! Also am doing my Zumba and easing back to lifting weights which makes me ecstatic!! I am still swollen but will continue to decrease every month! My next PS appt is June 2 and at that point I will have my before and after composites which I am really looking forward to seeing!!

Feeling Better Every Day
Tomorrow is 7 weeks post op and I am feeling better every day! I have been getting very antsy in wanting to get back to my life as it was. Last week I started walking on the treadmill and using my resistance band a little bit. I sure do miss my Zumba and lifting weights but I know that I have to start slow! Yesterday I walked the Color Me Rad 5K and I had a blast! It was like a big party afterwards which was a great experience for me considering I was feeling like I was going stir crazy and full of frustration! It's not to say that it came without consequences. I was soo tired last night not to mention swollen in the abdominal area but after resting last night, but today is a new day for new successes!

I am feeling great! It took a while to get to where I could do some of the things I love! Last weekend I ran a 5K and beat my time from last year! I am still swollen but it's a lot better than last month!

Emotions seem to be getting the best of me
My emotions are still all over the board. So completely different than what I am normally like. I just feel like I should be far ahead of where I am at, recovery wise. Being patient is not one of my strengths!

I can understand how the emotions and frustration of the healing process can get the best of you. I haven't had my surgery yet but during my recovery from a c section, it was a nightmare. My baby was in the NICU and I could barely walk. It was so frustrating and I felt helpless. Just take it 1 day at a time and be glad each set back is a healable set back. You are a strong woman by the story you presented and these set backs are not going to get the best of you! Keep pushing along and allow your body to heal! Best of wishes to you!

I also had a c section but my recovery time was not this long. Sorry to hear that you had a rough time during yours. Thanks so much for the encouraging words as they are what helps to push me forward! Thank you!
