Hello everyone

I had my LSH on 2-27-07. Does anyone have trouble sitting up in a chair? I only last about an hour then I have to go and prop up on the sofa. I am getting up and walking around the house as much as I can. How are you keeping yourselves entertained? I love to knit and crochet but so far I have not been feeling well enough to work on any projects. My eyes are also turning square from watching tv.

I had my surgery on March 2, 07 and this is the beginning of my second week. My lower back on the left side is hurting so bad that I can't sleep, sit up or walk. Pain killers don't even touch it. I have tried heating pad, but you can only do that for so long. Yes TV is driving me crazy, don't feel like reading - usually do. Sometimes I just lay here and cry because I feel so useless. Just wanted to let you know You aren't alone.

Thanks for the reply. I hope you get to feeling better soon. I have a hard time sleeping also. I will keep you and everyone here in my prayers.

I had a TLH and the first 2 weeks were hard. Not pain wise but just feeling ucky. After that I progressively got better until this week. I have vaginal cuff infection. Hang in there and try enjoy your recovery period.

I got some puzzles to work on since tv just got so boring. I usually liked to read accept I found with all the meds I couldn't concentrate. I probably had 4 baths a day just to get some lower back relief from all that lying aorund!!! I'll be thinking of you all

Hey yarn queen ,I never used to like to knit until now-I got a knitting machine for Christmas-I'm going to make myself a sweater-Can make a toque in a hour-My recovery is now going fine now that the infection in my incision is gone.I too went stir crazy the first week.

Eyes turning square from watching TV ... I'll have to remember that one.

I did some gabbing on the phone, and I looked through pictures. (I was going to organize them, but of course that didn't really happen.) But I killed several hours just looking back on the years past that way. Then I got out my high school and college yearbooks, and I had some great fun thinking back on those years, too.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

I go out for lunch with moy husband or mom, then some light walking areound/window shopping then I come home and I am beat. I have the square eyes too, reading is not a pleasure now, I just can't seem to focus.
